Fall Semester 2010 Notes
For the first time, graduate students, as well as undergraduate, are being dropped from classes if they have not yet paid for them. This began on Friday, August 6. If you had not yet paid, you were to receive a phone call from the university telling you that the class was no longer available and that you had been dropped. You should have been told to contact either your departmental office or your advisor. If you received such a call, or, if you know you have not yet paid, please contact our office at 219-989-2326 and speak to either Virginia or Casey, or contact your advisor directly.You may then make arrangements to be reregistered. Sooner is better than later. We apologize for any inconvenience that we may have caused you.
