Welcome back everyone! My name is Olivia Miller, the major advisor for Global Studies. For the past 2.5 years I have been in the Arts & Sciences Academic and Career Advising Center and over break moved into a new role serving all of you, plus Anthropology and Geography students. Each week I'll provide advising updates in the weekly Global Studies newsletter. Below are the advising updates for the start of the semester:
* I will be taking walk-in appointments only from January 7th to January 14th. Walk-ins will be limited to 20 minutes, and deal mostly with immediate course/enrollment concerns. There will be a sign-up sheet posted on my office door each day - this will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
* Starting January 15th I will be taking regular 30 minute appointments, as well as walk-in hours each Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. This schedule will last until Priority Registration. Appointments are best for more in-depth graduation and semester planning, problem solving, and experiential learning opportunities. Search for my name on MyPlan and make an appointment there.
* For those of you planning on graduating this May the application deadline to apply is January 25th. You can apply for your degree via MyRED under the Academics tab.
* Throughout the semester, but especially at the beginning, please utilize the Academic Calendar for important dates related to drop refunds, pass/no pass and withdraw deadlines. You can find the Academic Calendar here:https://registrar.unl.edu/academic-calendar/#tab2.
