Registration Packet for Second Term Seniors
Committee on Degrees in Social Studies
Fall, 2009
Welcome back to Social Studies. I hope your last semester will be happy and productive.
You should receive an email from your academic advisor by 12 noon on Wednesday, September 2nd. If you have not heard from him or her by then, please call the Social Studies office at (617) 495-2163 to receive his or her contact information.
By 8 p.m. on the night before you first meet with your academic advisor for the year, or at a mutually agreed upon time, please email him or her with a short (1-2 page) advising essay, attached as a word document. Describe your academic interests and listing goals, questions, concerns, and other information your advisor should know in order to do a good job advising you. If you are new to your relationship with your advisor, offer details about yourself (your background, your interests, your work habits). If you have already worked with your advisor, provide him or her with an update, including information that she or he may not already have (your summer experiences, changes in your family situation).
Please read the attached material carefully. You are responsible for its contents. Not having read the material is not a valid excuse for not having information or knowing deadlines.
