Hello Owen,
This is a confirmation e-mail about when we have scheduled your class for advising in the Academic Advising Center. We will also send you a list of all of your students stating which students do need to come to the AAC and which don’t. Those that don’t need to come can go get their departmental advising during your class time. Our peer advisors are still working on those lists, and I anticipate e-mailing that to you later this week. We have you scheduled for:
CRN 11680 Wednesday, Oct. 13th 8:30-9:20
See you then and thank you for collaborating with us in getting our freshman population advised on time!
Michelle Peña, M.S.
