As you know, Lauri has left the Undergraduate Affairs Office of MCB! As we wish her good luck in her new position up at Legal Studies, we are thinking through some changes that we'll make in the interim between now and when we hire a new advisor. ********>>>><<<<******** Please read the following, as this affects you. ********>>>><<<<******** 1. Declaration of the Major During the period of October 9 through November 3, we will not be declaring majors during drop-in office hours, to reduce the amount of traffic during what is expected to be one of the busiest times of the year (advisor codes for spring 2007!). Instead, we will hold one major declaration session per week, with the date and place posted on the home page of the MCB undergraduate web site. Look there for dates, times. ACTION YOU CAN TAKE: If you plan on declaring the major and have completed Bio 1A, come in now, when there are no lines. Otherwise, check our on line schedule for the declaration workshops. 2. Advisor Codes for spring 2007 Every declared MCB major will be required to obtain an advisor code in order to enroll in spring classes. Yes, fall classes have barely begun, but TeleBears for spring begins on October 23. In order to try to reduce traffic and lines in our office during this period, we will be advising any student who comes in between now and October 9 (the date that advisors codes will be available to us) and marking your record. As soon as the advisor codes are available, we'll send them to those of you whose record is marked. ACTION YOU CAN TAKE: Take the opportunity now to come in and see us before the lines form. 3. 15 Minute Drop-in Appointments, 10 am - 12 pm and 1 pm - 3 pm We are changing the structure of advising appointments. Beginning Monday, drop in hours will be 10 am through noon and 1 pm through 3 pm. The length of these drop-in sessions will be a maximum of 15 minutes each. We will hold 30 minute appointments daily 9 am, 9:30 am, 3 pm, 3:30 pm, and M-Th 4 pm and 4:30 pm. Until we develop an on line scheduling system, please email mcbuao with your preferred days and times (among those above). We'll email you back within the day. Please let me know if you have any questions.
