In order to provide one-on-one assistance, the following two class meetings (Mon. 11/19 and Mon. 11/26) will be structured as individual Research Project Conferences. You are only responsible for attending during your assigned time (see below for schedule); however, I have reserved a computer lab in the library for class use from 3:30-4:45pm each day so that you may continue to work on your project and/or Blog #8 (due Nov. 26) during class time. Please be prompt and bring your revised draft, works cited page, and outline with you to our meeting. You should also start to think about how you will present this material to the class for your final grade. Powerpoint, visual aids, web/video, handouts, etc. are strongly encouraged. Final papers are due WEDNESDAY 11/28 and Presentations will take place Dec. 5-Dec. 17.

·       Open your SCCC e-mail account – My Email tab to see information and instructions. 

·       Open the My Courses tab.

·       Read the Priority Registration guidelines for the campus you attend.

·       Select the View My Holds link to see the dates you are eligible to register.  Your date to register for wintersession/spring 2013 will be posted under VIEW MY HOLDS.  Your date will be on or after November 7.  Your date is determined by the number of credits completed at Suffolk

·       PROB means your GPA or rate of completion of courses is too low according to college guidelines. See  pages 63 and 64 of the current College Catalog. This requires you to obtain a signature from a faculty member/counselor on a blue advising sheet.  You may only register for 14.5 credits.
