Just a friendly
reminder that the last day for adding courses and removing
incompletes is this Friday, April 18th. Please remember
to bring your add cards to the Registrar's Office by 5:00pm on

Getting
the word out: Broadcast Emails
REGIS offers instructors,
TAs and advisers quick and easy ways to send emails to their
students and advisees. From the Class Roll Sheets,
instructors and TAs can simply click on the "Broadcast Email
Message" links to send a message to students enrolled in a
specific section, students enrolled in a particular class, or
all students enrolled with you this term. A web form
enables you to simply type a message and send it out.
Advisers, while viewing the list of their advisees under the
Schedule Approval link, can mark the checkbox for one or several
advisees and hit the Email button to similarly send out an
email. The Email All button enables you broadcast an email
to all your advisees.
Scheduling for Maximum Benefit
The
Curriculum Committee has recommended
that 3 hour classes that normally meet Monday/Wednesday/Friday
should start on the hour. Tuesday/Thursday classes in 90 minute
sessions should start at 9, 10:30, 1 or 2:30. Instructors should try to avoid
classes
starting Tuesday or Thursday at 10 or 2.
