MESSAGE FOR ADVERTISING AND PUBLIC RELATIONS MAJORS - FALL 2004

CONGRATULATIONS to the 46 new advertising majors folowing the advertising curriculum and to the 15 new advertising majors following the public relations curriculum who were recently admitted to the School.

GROUP ADVISING SESSIONS will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 27 for advertising students and on Wednesday, Nov. 3 for public relations students. Times and places will be announced later.

COURSE SUB FLUBS: Several students have run afoul of course substitution rules. Please keep the following in mind:

JEM 201 Writing for Mass Media does not count as a communication
elective for majors in the College of Communication and Information.
This course carries credit only for majors outside the College.

C&I 150 replaced Com 100 and Com 150. You can not count C&I 150
as a communication elective. It is the same course as Com 100 and Com 150.

If you are planning to do study abroad, you must work out IN ADVANCE what credits you will earn and how they will be applied to your curriculum requirements. This applies both to students registering for PR 491 Foreign Study as well as students registering for credit at foreign universities. In addition, students signing up for a U.S. exchange program should work out their credits in advance. Note: credits earned anywhere other than the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, DO NOT COUNT in the last-30-hour-rule.

IF YOU ARE MINORING IN BUSINESS, a new policy requires you to declare your major in the College of Business Administration Advising Office. You no longer will be able to register for courses in the business minor; the advising center in the College of Business will register you for the classes you need, provided you declare the minor and attend an advising session for minors. Advising sessions for business minors are held each Friday from 4:00 p.m. to 5 p.m.
