Advanced registration begins June 8. Have you met with your COMM major or COMM minor advisor yet? With the new 4-unit courses starting in the fall, meeting with an advisor to map out your program of student is especially important. The undergraduate advising page includes advisors' contact information and summer advising hours.
We'll start the Fall 2009 semester with two new faculty members, Professor Kathleen McConnell and Professor David Terry. Find out more about them on the new faculty page.
