This announcement below was via email on October 8th to advisees of Econ Department Advisor, Robert Pawloski.  If you DID NOT receive this email you were: an inactive student, undeclared in the ECON BA or FIEC BS as of October 8th, 2024, or you were assigned a Faculty Advisor and received a different announcement.

If you’re receiving this email, you are listed as an ECON B.A. or FIEC B.S. major in the Economics Department.  Your advisor for clearance to enroll in Fall 2024 classes is Econ Department Advisor, Robert Pawloski

Beginning October 8th, 2024, you can sign up for Advising and Registration Clearance to enroll in Spring 2025 classes with your assigned advisor. If you received this email, that’s me!  This is clearance and advising, actual enrollment comes later at a time assigned by the Registrar.

Visit the Advising Area on the Department of Economics website for instructions on adjusting your major, completing the pre-advising form, and receiving clearance.  Here’s the link:
