Students with financial holds who need to drop Spring 2023 classes

rlhudsn1 Uncategorized

If you have a student who wants to drop a class or classes for Spring 2023 and they have a financial hold preventing them from doing so, please tell them to put in a Tiger Help ticket to the Registrar’s Office and we can do it administratively on their behalf. No approval is needed for Spring 2023 drops since if they did not have a financial hold, they would be able to drop themselves through April 8, which is our new 75 percent mark of the term for dropping classes online.

 

The financial holds recently were applied to block future term registrations (prior to Summer and Fall registration), but the system is an “all or none” so if there is a financial hold, Spring 2023 term is impacted as well.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thank you!

Merging Advertising and Public Relations majors

rlhudsn1 AAN

Hello AAN!

The Department of Journalism and Strategic Media has merged its Advertising and Public Relations majors, effective the 2023 catalog. This merger has resulted in the merger of 8 courses into four. Most of these merged classes effect majors and minors, so if you have issues with a minor, please refer your student to me and I will assist them.

However, ADVR 3300 – Intro to Advertising and PBRL 3400 – Intro to Public Relations are popular upper-division electives across the university and are required by some programs outside of the Department of Journalism and Strategic Media.

ADVR 3300 and PBRL 3400 both will be offered this summer, online. The courses are live in the schedule now.

 In the fall, ADVR 3300 and PBRL 3400 are merged into STRM 3200 – Intro to Strategic Media. STRM 3200 can count as a substitution for either ADVR 3300 or PBRL 3400. If students need additional substitutions, please contact me and I will help problem solve on a case-by-case basis.

Thanks!

Matt
