Advising for Spring Registration

Registration for fall classes begins for seniors on November 15th, and over the days to follow for everybody else. Make sure to check the UVM Registration schedule to see when you may begin registering for Spring classes.

I’m setting aside a several days over the next week and a half to meet with you to review your choice of courses for the spring semester. English majors and minors can find the list of spring 2007 courses from the Department of English online at the department’s website. On that same page, you will also find the list of courses that fill the A, B, C, D, and senior seminar requirements. It’s also worth checking the spring course listings from Continuing Education



Here are few quick links that will help you plan your spring courses.

• Here’s a link to the course listings from the Registrar’s website
• Spring enrollment listings (updated hourly)

BEFORE COMING TO SEE ME, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE A GRADUATING SENIOR, MAKE SURE TO RUN A “CATS REPORT” TO SEE WHAT REQUIREMENTS YOU STILL NEED TO FILL. If possible, print a copy and bring it with you to our meeting. That will speed up the process considerably. Please do your best to pick your courses before our meeting.

A couple of other things. If you’re looking to get into a course that usually fills up (English 086, or Shakespeare for instance), I’d suggest e-mailing the instructor ASAP to ask if they will enable you to register early for that course or to ask that you be put on a waiting list for the class.



If you’re looking for a Category D class for the spring, I’ll be teaching a night class for Continuing Education. The course, taught on Monday nights, is English 182: Topics in Postcolonial/Colonial literatures. I’m focusing in this course solely on First Nations writers, so even if you have taken another version of 182 from me before, you can still take this one if you wish. Over the “Winter Session” I’ll also be teaching a one-credit online course on Michael Ondaatje. That runs over the first two weeks of January and it’s a great way to pick up an extra credit without having to set your foot on campus.



I look forward to seeing you soon!

Here are the available time slots I have for next week. Please e-mail me right away and book an appointment. I’ll fill in the taken spots on this form as I hear from you on a first-come, first-served basis.
