Pre-Med /Health Registration Meeting on Wednesday, 11/19/08 from 7 pm to 9 pm in Room 369 at Undergraduate Career Services, 55 Whitney Avenue: Students who plan to enter medical school or another health profession program in Summer or Fall 2010 should attend one of the following mandatory registration meetings that will cover the application process beginning next spring, registration with the Health Professions Advisory Board, establishing your credentials file at Career Services, and more.

Spring-term English Introductory Courses Pre-Registration:  Online pre-registration for spring semester introductory courses will be available beginning at 9 a.m. on December 1 and will remain open through Friday January 09, 2009.  At any time during this period students may view the scheduled sections and pre-register for the section of their choice by pointing their web browsers at the English Department website www.yale.edu/english/undergraduate.html and following the pre-registration link posted there. Once they’ve made their selection, they will receive an email confirmation.

Please note that to secure their place in the section for which they pre-registered, students must attend ALL meetings of the class until the end of the second week of classes. If they miss a class without informing the instructor beforehand, their place will be filled by any students waiting to be admitted to the section.  The number of courses and sections available should be more than ample to accommodate all student demand, and we anticipate that our offerings are ample enough to meet student demand.
