Academic Advising Updates

Mr. Doug Pellatz
Mr. Doug Pellatz

Hello Meteorology Majors,

I hope that you have been well since the fall semester has ended and that you have had some time to relieve stress from your classes.

Have you finalized your plans for the Spring 2021 semester yet? If not, there is still time to meet with me between now and Friday, January 22. I will be taking meetings each weekday except for the time period December 19 and January 3, so I hope there is a time that we can meet if you have questions or goals that you want to discuss.

Given the long break from classes, especially if you aren't taking a class in either 3-week session, I would encourage you to think about your summer and after graduation plans. You should have time to research internships, summer research experiences, jobs, and graduate schools. If you have questions about these kinds of things, I would be happy to discuss them with you as well.

Spring 2021 Course Formats
Remember, attendance will be required for in-person and web conferencing courses for the Spring 2021 semester. Please do not enroll in an in-person course that you do not plan to or are unable to attend in-person. In addition, please do not enroll in a web conferencing course that conflicts with an outside of class commitments. If you have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks, Doug

Winter 2020 Meteorology Advising

All academic advising for the Winter 2020 season will be completed virtually. This means that all advising meetings and interactions will be conducted on Zoom, over the phone, or via email. Doug and Professor Kopacz are available to meet your academic advising needs, and we look forward to meeting with you and working with you throughout the fall semester. Even though advising will continue to be virtual, we will do everything we can to support you for the winter season.

Due to social distancing even if Doug is in his office, you will need schedule an advising appointment that will be conducted via Zoom, phone, or email or join drop-in advising on Zoom. If an in-person meeting is absolutely required, arrangements will need to be made well in advance so we can accommodate social distancing in the meeting.

Doug’s advising hours will be:
Appointments – 8:30 am to 4:30 pm every weekday

You can schedule an appointment with Doug by using the MyPlan system via this link, by calling the College of Arts and Sciences Academic and Career Advising Center at 402-472-4190, or by emailing him at dpellatz@unl.edu.

Professor Kopacz's Advising
Advising meetings can be scheduled with Professor Kopacz by contacting her at dawn.kopacz@unl.edu. To my knowledge, Professor Kopacz will be advising on a mostly remote basis.
