The Transfer Connection
Greetings,
Social networking sites are popular, but you may want to consider privacy settings as well as limiting what you post. Keep in mind that anything you or someone else posts about you has a life of its own on the internet. What may be amusing today could be embarrassing tomorrow, especially if discovered by your professor, potential employer, or your grandmother. MySpace is potentially Everyone's Space.
The Summer and Fall schedules are available on-line. Have you seen your adviser? As priority registration nears the lines get longer. Advisers have information and experience, so consider yours a valuable resource. Think about your adviser's communication preference. Does your adviser make appointments by email, phone or signup sheet? Advisers in General Studies have walk-in advising all year, and some advising centers have walk-in only during peak advising times. Be mindful of the adviser's time especially when it is busy and think about the questions you want to ask before you arrive.
When you email your professor or your adviser, it is best to consider it a professional communication. Use titles (Dr./Mr./Ms) and those communication skills you have been learning including capitalization and punctuation. Provide enough information to answer your question--your full name and the course/section if writing to your professor and your major/minor/ other specifics when corresponding with your adviser. It may be appropriate to include your NU ID if the response will require checking your records.
Whether you are headed to the slopes or the sun for the break, be safe. The University Health Center, Health Education Department, UHC Student Advisory Board, and Campus Rec Centers will be distributing spring break survival kits on a while-they-last basis. They are available at various campus locations this week. The kits are BPA-free water bottles stuffed with the following items: antacid tablets; antiseptic wipe; band-aids; condom; ibuprofen; sunscreen; toothbrush; and toothpaste. If you do not want any of the items in the kit, return them to the University Health Center or any Health Aide booth.
