MESSAGES FOR ADVERTISING AND PUBLIC RELATIONS MAJORS - SPRING 2006

If you are having trouble registering for your major classes because the system tells you that you are not a major, please let us know by emailing your name, major and social security number to adv@utk.edu. Please indicate "Registration Problems" in the subject line. We can then let the registration office know that you need to be changed in the new system. It will then take a few hours or the next day to be cleared so you can register.

SUMMER AND MINITERM REGISTRATION opened this past Monday, March 6. So far there is no enrollment in advertising or public relations courses. If you plan to attend summer school, you need to "cast your vote" for a class to be held by registering for that class. Courses not reaching a minimum enrollment of 12 by mid-April will be canceled.

SEVERAL CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE FALL SCHEDULE. Changes include cancelling one section of Adv 310, canceling one section of Adv 480, cancelling one section of PR 320, and moving one section of Adv 350 from TR to MW.

If you were enrolled in any of the cancelled sections, you should have received an email alerting you to the change. There is plenty of room in other sections to accommodate students who were signed up for sections that have been cancelled. Sections were cancelled due to low enrollments.

If you are having difficulty scheduling an advertising or public relations class, you should send an email to adv@utk.edu. So far it appears that all fully admitted majors have been registered into the classes they need for fall semester.
