If you are looking for a grader, TA, or a GSA position please do NOT send emails to faculty. Please apply here. Instructors will only select students from this list.
Please submit course overrides as early as possible, keeping in mind that faculty may be less accessible for approvals during the summer/winter breaks. See Forms & Procedures page for details on override process.
Overrides are intended for courses which require faculty and/or department consent (permission) or to override requisite requirements. Advising cannot override seats for full classes or reserved seats.
Please use the designated advising emails to contact advising, not outlook emails.
