IMPORTANT RULES AND PROCEDURES

1. All courses require permission of the graduate Advisor (me!). Permissions will be entered in batches on a first come - first served basis.
2. To request permission to register for a course, you MUST send me an e-mail at rfiler@hunter.cuny.edu and include your ID number. I am happy to discuss your program with you during office hours (or anytime I am in the department) but only e-mailed requests for registration permission WITH ID NUMBERS will be processed.
3. Given that we are offering more courses than we normally do, registration limits will be strictly enforced. Do not go by what you see on E-SIMS. I will have the official count of permissions given. If the class is full, you will be put on a waiting list in the order your request was received.
4. All students who have not registered for requested classes by August 15th will have their permissions REVOKED so that places may be opened for those on the waiting list and non-matriculated students This is a new procedure required by the fact that some of you requested seats for popular classes this spring and then did not register, resulting in some of your colleagues being denied places.

As always, the blog will have the required texts posted before classes begin. Stay tuned in. Same bat time, same bat channel.
