Student Advisement
COVID-19 Remote Advisement Sign-Up Procedure
We will create a weekly schedule of remote advisement appointments. If you wish to schedule an advisement session, please e-mail Ms. Haughton to request an appointment. If this is your first advisement session, you need to schedule a 30-minute session. If you have been advised before, a 15-minute session should suffice.
Toward the end of each week, Ms. Haughton will review all requests for advisement and then will send an outlook invitation to those students for their respective appointments. When you receive this invitation, you will need to either accept or decline the invitation right away. Once accepted, that time and day will be secured for your advisement session and the remote access information for the advisement session will be sent to you When Ms. Haughton sends you the invitation, she will send you a course checklist document for you to fill out indicating the degree required classes you've had to date. It's very important that you fill this out and send it back to Ms. Haughton right away so that professors Cherrier and Chamberlain can review it prior to your advisement session. (You may send as a jpeg from a picture taken with your phone).
Note: If you cannot keep your appointment, let Ms. Haughton know right away so the time slot can be freed up for another student.
Requesting Permission to Register for a Class
Requests for permission for a student to register for a class that requires instructor consent must come from the professor who is granting the permission. The student must e-mail the professor to make the initial request. Requests coming to the Chair or Ms. Haughton from students, and not the professor, will not be considered.
Students should include the following information in their e-mail to the professor for this request:
- Student name and EMPLID
- semester for which the permission request is being made
- course number and name,
- a brief explanation/justification for the request
The professor will then make a decision based on the information/justification provided and will forward the student request e-mail to Ms. Haughton and will include in this forwarded e-mail their decision to either approve or disapprove (the Chair must be cc’d). If the professor has approved the request, then Ms. Haughton will input the request into the system and notify both the student and the professor when it has been entered into the system.
Note: A separate request for permission must be generated for each class for which a permission to register is being requested.

You should schedule at least two advisement sessions per semester. Receiving regular advisement is critical to your successful matriculation through the EES undergraduate program.
