Do you know how to search and register for spring classes? What is an enrollment appointment, and when is yours? For help with the registration process, plan to attend one of the upcoming workshops with PHYSASTR advisors!
During summer orientation, you may have been pre-enrolled in classes with some minor changes, but for Spring you will be building your own schedule from top to bottom. This workshop is designed to help you navigate that process and get your schedule as close to perfect as possible!

This is a great opportunity to discuss graduate school plans with students currently pursuing a PhD.
