Did you know that the SMC Student Affairs Office offers Express Advising daily?!
Check out our hours here, and be sure to stop in to see an advisor to find out if Express Advising can help you!

Having some trouble navigating the waitlist? No problem! If you register for the waitlist, follow these tips:
1. If you are the next person on the waitlist, and a spot opens up, you will be notified via TUemail. This email will tell you a specific date and time by which you need to register (or drop yourself from the waitlist).
2. You have until that specific deadline listed in the email to register yourself for the course or drop yourself from the waitlist.
3. If you are on academic warning or probation, you will need to see an academic advisor during Express Advising during the given timeframe in order to get registered.
Note: You are not officially registered for the course if you are on a waitlist. If space does not open up for you to be able to register, you should register for other alternatives.
That’s it – Waitlist is as easy as 1-2-3!
If you have any questions about the waitlist, please come to the Student Affairs Office, Room 9 Annenberg Hall!
Students are to see an SMC Academic Advisor if one or more of the following apply:
If any of these apply to you, come in to schedule an appointment to Room 9 in Annenberg Hall! Appointments are filling up fast, so don’t delay!

Well, everyone, it’s been quite a year! I’m sad to say that this will be my last post of 2012. I’ve learned so much from the Student Affairs/Advising Center, and am infinitely proud to say that I am a part of it. But who said farewell had to mean goodbye? You can keep up with my blog, coming to you from London, England! I’ll be studying and interning as I learn how to navigate in British culture. Thanks to a collaborative effort from the Study Away Office and the Student Affairs Office, I’ve been granted the opportunity to share my experiences through a blog. Details will come soon!

Thank you to all for an amazing year; I look forward to seeing everyone next spring! Congratulations to the 2012 graduating class!
There will be no Express Hours next week (May 14-18)! The advisers will be very busy clearing the graduating class of 2012 – congrats, Owls! Remember, you should NOT use Express Advising if the following applies to you:
Be sure to check out our website for updates and announcements about Express Hours and more!
Congratulations to the May 2012 graduating Owls! Details for the day’s events are as follows:
Graduates are expected to arrive at noon on Thursday, May 10, to Pearson-McGonigle Hall. Ushers will direct students to their appropriate places; guests can arrive anytime between 12 and 1 p.m., and the ceremony begins promptly at 1 p.m. The ceremony will last until approximately 3 p.m. This is the ceremony where students process and cross the stage, not to be confused with the University Commencement in the morning.
Come one and come all to the 14th Annual Diamond Screen Festival! Hosted by your very own Film and Media Arts Department, events are spread out from Tuesday, May 1, to Monday, May 7! This year, the festival showcases outstanding work from FMA students and even offers specialized workshops from SCT professors. You don’t have to be a FMA student to attend, so check it out! The schedule of events can be found on the Diamond Screen Festival 2012 website!
Now that classes are over, it’s easy to forget the importance of staying on top of your schoolwork, and even easier to forget that we still have finals! I’ll offer you some tips on how to beat the end-of-the-year anxiety and excel during finals.
Feeling a little better about finals now? Good! For more information, stop in and see your friendly Student Affairs Office in Annenberg Hall 9. Happy studying!
