Registration issues: Permits
Many of you are asking about the process for requesting a permit when you get a major restriction or other message where a permit or override is required.
Each department manages its own classes and schedules, and each department has differing policies on how they will handle permits. I only manage permits for CHBE courses. The best place to go to find out about a particular department's policies is http://www.registrar.gatech.edu/registration/oprequest.php
If the instructions require you to request your permit via OSCAR, you should:

- On the Home tab locate the "REGISTRATION AND STUDENT SERVICES" channel
- Select the "Registration - OSCAR" link
- Select "Student Services & Financial Aid"
- Select "Registration"
- Select "Registration Override Request"

Registration Issues: Corequisite Error message
This is the first semester that we are offering the new Thermo I class, CHBE 2130 (instead of the previous CHBE 2110). The prerequisites for this class have not changed: CHBE 2100 and BIOL 1510 (which can be either a prereq or coreq.) In addition, most students elect to take CHBE 2120 Numerical and CHBE 2130 Thermo I concurrently. HOWEVER, it is not required that the classes are taken concurrently. Unfortunately, the new CHBE 2130 has been set up in the system with CHBE 2120 as a corequisite, and for now we are unable to change it.
For this spring, any student who wishes to take either CHBE 2120 or CHBE 2130 without the other class will need to have a COREQ OVERRIDE entered to permit registration for only one. If you are experiencing a problem with this, please send me an email and include your name, your GT ID# , and the class you wish to take (i.e. CHBE 2130). I will check your record and enter the override if warranted. You should receive an email after the override is entered which will permit you to complete your registration.

Registration Issues: GT ID# and Voice Mail messages
It is extremely important for you to include your GT ID# whenever you are corresponding with anyone at the institution about an issue with which you need assistance. I receive both emails and phone calls where students: 1) don't provide their full name, 2) don't provide their GT ID#, or 3) email from personal accounts other than the official Georgia Tech assigned email address. While I hope to learn all of you by name, please understand that to assist you, I have to access your records--which requires your GT ID#! I suggest adding your GT ID# as part of your email signature for all official correspondence.
If you are calling for assistance and I am unable to answer the phone, please leave a detailed voice mail message (including your GT ID#) and the phone # at which you can be reached. DO NOT continue to call repeatedly, time after time, and hang up when the call goes to voice mail. This does not help you get through to someone any more quickly, and it disrupts the student appointments or meetings in progress (which is why the phone call can't be answered in the first place.) Please conduct yourself professionally and leave a voice mail message. Your message will be returned as soon as possible.

Registration issues: CHBE 4400 Process Control
The Spring class panic is in full swing, so I am going to try and address some of the issues about which I am hearing the most....
I understand that CHBE 4400 Chemical Process Control is full; there is a wait list building. At this time the wait list is NOT full. Here's what is going to happen:
First, students who anticipate graduating in Spring 2013 and have submitted a graduation application will be prioritized on the wait list. I anticipate this happening by early next week. When this is done, a group of seats will be opened and the prioritized students will have the first opportunity to get registered.
Second, students who anticipate graduating in Summer 2013 must send me an email (PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR GT ID#!). After compiling the list of pending Summer graduations, the waitlist will once again be prioritized and additional seats opened.
NOTE: If after reviewing your records it becomes clear you cannot graduate in the spring or summer, you will NOT be prioritized on the wait list. Students will have to be flexible with their corresponding lab sections as I have limited control over this aspect. Additionally, students who fail to let me know their graduation plans will not be prioritized.
I will do my best to sort this out throughout Phase I registration, but I must tell you that it may still be a "work in progress" during Phase II, so please bear with us as we do our best to accommodate those students who need the class the most.

HELP! I have to see you today!
It never fails--when registration is less than a week away, many students decide that it is now time to meet with an advisor. Since most of you are Math Gods, let me frame the problem for you:
There is one primary academic advisor for more than 900 undergraduate students in ChBE.
The aforementioned advisor works 40 hours per week.
The average appointment takes 20-30 minutes.
How many students can your advisor meet with during a week?
Hopefully, this illustration will help you understand why my calendar is now booked almost two weeks out....and why scheduling your advising meetings EARLY is recommended--(and why not showing up or missing an appointment is never a good idea...)
I do want to help you, so if you need assistance, you have a couple options:
WALK IN HOURS
For
quick advising or scheduling questions, but remember, first come, first served, so you may have to wait your turn:
·
Friday,
November 2: 9:30 a.m.-12:00 noon and
2:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.
·
Friday,
November 9: 9:30 a.m.-12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.
Friday,
November 16: 9:30 a.m.-12:00 noon
EMAIL ADVISING
If you are pretty confident about your academic plans but just want some feedback you can ask for input via email. Please keep in mind that I am responding to your messages in between appointments and walk ins, so during peak advising times, it may take a couple days to respond....advising isn't instant messaging!
APPOINTMENTS
Contrary to popular belief if you need to speak with an advisor, it is always best to schedule an appointment. For most issues, a two-week wait to get an appointment will not be life-altering, and the time you spend with your advisor will be more productive and helpful. Consider your situation and check my appointment calendar. Appointments are scheduled Monday-Thursday,
9:30 a.m.-noon and 2:00 p.m.-4:30
p.m. Most appointment times are 30
minutes; however, during registration some afternoons will have 15 minute
advising slots for quick questions.

Chemistry-Biology Interface Graduate Program
The Chemistry-Biology Interface (CBI) Graduate Program at Johns Hopkins University provides students with research and academic training that enables them to carry out interdisciplinary research as independent scientists. Students completing the program receive a Ph.D. in Chemical Biology.
The CBI Program brings together ~30 faculty from 4 schools at Johns Hopkins University, which provide a diverse selection of research projects to CBI students. In order to assist them in choosing a research advisor, first year graduate students are supported by a NIH Chemical Biology Training Grant. During this time the CBI students carry out three 10-week research rotations that enable them to broaden their research skills and make informed choices of research advisors.
Since its establishment in 2005, the CBI Program has received an enthusiastic response, and we have attracted an excellent group of students. Our program has grown to ~30 Ph.D. students. We hope to continue expanding and developing this exciting program. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in learning more about the Chemistry-Biology Interface Program at Hopkins. You may also browse the CBI website which describes many facets of the program at http://www.cbi.jhu.edu
