MESSAGE FOR ADVERTISING AND PUBLIC RELATIONS - FALL 2006

THANKS TO ALL THE MAJORS who attended the advising sessions last week. If you happened to miss your group's session, then you will need to make an appointment with your assigned faculty advisor to be cleared for registration for spring semester.

GRADUATING ADVERTISING SENIORS ENROLLING IN CAMPAIGNS and who need Management 300 to complete the business minor may enroll in the equivalent course through correspondence at UT Chattanooga. First, you will need to request through your faculty advisor that 3 hours of the 30-hour UT residency requirement be waived. Second, take that signed substitution form to Betty Bradley in the College Advising Center and she will verify your situation for the College of Business Advising Center. For the course to transfer to the Knoxville campus, you must earn a grade of "C" or better.

Advertising students who are not pursuing a business minor may propose another on-campus business class as a substitute. This policy applies only to students who have applied to graduate in Spring 2007 and who have a conflict with Adv 470 and Mngt 300.

Students who have been fully-admitted as Advertising majors in the School of Advertising and Public Relations should attend the mandatory advising session in order to register for classes for Spring Semester 2007 on Wednesday, October 18 at 4:30 p.m., Room 208 Communications.

Please bring a list of courses you intend to take spring, summer and fall semesters. If you plan to graduate in spring semester, please bring a copy of your transcript and your DARS report if you have questions about meeting graduation requirements.

All Advertising majors are encouraged to attend, but only those whose student ID number (last two digits) ends with an even digit are required to attend.
