English Department Academic Advising

The English Department at ISU is committed to helping our students through all stages of their undergraduate education, from admission to the department to graduation and beyond. Our advising process is designed to help students succeed in whatever their future may hold for them.

 

Summer/Fall 2013 Waitlist

Please fill out this form if you are seeking a seat in an English Department course for Summer and Fall 2013.

We will look at all requests and try and fill them based on individual needs of the student. This includes reasons for requesting the seat (i.e. major or minor requirement, general education requirement, endorsement hours, etc) hours earned, and the reason as to why the course was unavailable (ex financial block, hours block, pre-req block etc).

Students will be notified no earlier than April 19 2013 if we are able to accomodate their request. The English Department will continue processing requests through the end of Registration. In the meantime students are encouraged to continue checking iCampus and add the course if a seat should open.
