REGISTRATION FOR SPRING CLASSES

We will begin registration on Tuesday, Oct. 19.  No one can register until they have been advised.  If your OASIS registration appointment date is not October 19, please notify Glada Horvat at 542-7955 or by e-mail at glada@.uga.edu.   Be sure you clear all flags (parking tickets, etc) to register.

Several colleges on campus allow students to make advising appointments using the Internet.  Click on your school's page at www.uga.edu to see if you can make your appointment on-line.  Of course, you still have to go and talk with the advisor at the appointed time and please don't be a NO SHOW or you will move to the end of the line and get to register in December!

USE OF SMITH CENTER

Please treat the facility as you would a classroom and remember:

1.  No food or drinks

2.  Appropriate attire (no hats/headwear)

3. Quiet voices

Remember that the computer lab, study area and tutoring program in the Smith Center are provided solely for the use of students participating in the athletic program.  No other students are allowed to use these facilities without permission of the athletic counseling staff.  Also, some students have reported losing papers on the computer before they were finished so please remember to save to your disk along the way and print a hard copy.
