* What’s New in the Pre-Health Advising Office? *
We have updated (and will continue to update) some sections of our
website. You will notice that there are some new links on the navigation
menu: Advising, The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program, Special
Program Spring/Summer 2012 and Committee Letters.
Advising: This link provides detailed information about our student
advising availability and procedures. You will notice that Phone
Advising has been added to our list which is a great option for those
who have trouble getting to campus for scheduled in-person appointments.
Days and hours of advising have changed; please review this section
before scheduling an appointment or coming during walk-in hours.
Note: If you decide to come during the scheduled walk-in hours, you do
not need to notify us via phone or e-mail. Just come to the 8th floor of
the East Building, sign-up and have a seat! Remember, always check the
website before coming for walk-in hours to make sure they have not been
cancelled or re-scheduled.
The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program: This section of our website
has been updated for both the current and prospective post-baccalaureate.
If you are a current Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program student
please take note of the sections: Receiving Your Certificate, 56 Hour
Service Requirement and Academic Standing.
Committee Letters: For those of you who don’t already know, some changes
have been made to the committee letter process to make it more efficient
and effective. If you are planning on receiving a committee letter for
the 2012-2013 cycle, please THOROUGHLY review this section of the
website, including reading every word of the instructions (a pdf file
that can be found on the page). It is important to us that students
educate themselves about the process before submitting the Committee
Letter application or e-mailing us with questions.
More changes are to come. As always, check our website frequently for
updates, changes and special events!
