Rising Seniors! Come in for a Grad Review NOW!

As a rising Senior, it is important for you to understand all remaining degree requirements and make sure you are on track to graduate in the Fall 2013 or Spring 2014 semester. As your academic advisor, I encourage you to make an appointment with me for a graduation review to discuss your remaining degree requirements and plan out your coursework for your senior year. I am also happy to walk you through any expectations that you may have for your last year as a GW undergraduate student.

To make an appointment, please call 202-994-6210. If you cannot make an appointment before the end of the Spring 2013 semester, I am available over the summer for phone appointments. Please remember that we do not see students during Express Advising or Office Hours for graduation reviews.

Below and attached is a Senior Year Survival Guide. This handout will help you navigate senior year and all of the important dates, events, and information that is important for you to be familiar with next year.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me and I look forward to seeing you soon.
