Advising Season

If you didn't see the email from me already ... here it is. It is advising season again, and time to figure out what to take next semester.

----------------

Dear Physics Majors (and potential Physics Majors),

If you don't know already, I am the undergraduate adviser for physics and astronomy. Once again, it is advising time. Some time during the next two weeks, I would like to sit down with each of you and informally discuss how things are going, what your plan is, and try to answer any questions you might have. This is your chance to ask all sorts of difficult questions, and I will do my best to answer them. Most likely, I can tell you what courses you still need to take, what requirements you have left to fulfill, or how you might get more involved in our program, for instance.

I am available to meet in either my Gallalee office (rm 110) or my Bevill office (rm 228), whichever is more convenient for you. Below, at the bottom of this post, is a list of times and places I am available. If you would like to set up an advising meeting, send me a quick email (pleclair-at-ua.edu) indicating your preferred time block and location (Bevill or Gallalee).

Recall that you need to have your 'advising hold' cleared each semester in order to proceed with registration. This means you need to meet with *someone*, who can then have your advising hold cleared electronically. There is no longer a need for paperwork, but you still need to be advised. Along those lines, this semester Dr. Mewes (tmewes-at-ua.edu) and Dr. Williams (drwilliams3-at-ua.edu) have agreed to help out with advising. If your schedule does not fit with mine, you have occasion to see Dr. Mewes or Dr. Williams for other reasons, or would just rather see them instead, you can feel free to contact them as well.

Finally, some of you are far enough along and well-organized enough that you basically know what you need to do. Fair enough. If this is the case, email me your proposed schedule for the S10 semester, and if I don't see any problems with it, I'll clear your advising hold and we'll call it a day.

My free times
-----------------
Mondays: 1:15-3:45, Gallalee
Tuesdays: 10-3:45, Bevill
Wednesdays: 1:15-3:45, Gallalee
Thursdays: 10-6, Bevill
Fridays: 12-6, either location.

Best Regards,

-Dr. LeClair
