Advising

This information applies to all Middle Eastern programs listed above except the interdisciplinary B.A., honors, and M.A. programs in Middle Eastern Studies. For advising information for these two programs, please see the Center for Middle Eastern Studies website.

Undergraduate Advising

The Undergraduate Advisor is responsible for giving you information regarding your degree plan, monitoring your progress, and helping you out in areas such as petitions, scholarships, study abroad and transfer of credit. You should see the advisor at least once a year- a short meeting with him/her may save you time and money. You should also be in touch with the Undergraduate Coordinator, who works closely with the advisor.

 The DMES Undergraduate Advisor is also the honors advisor.

The Undergraduate Advisor is Monica Yaniv. She can be reached at 475-6705. Her office is: WMB 6.148

 Undergraduate Coordinator

The Undergraduate Coordinator keeps track of all students' degree plans, bars, petitions and registration information sheets (RIS). All administrative matters pertaining to registration are within the responsibility of the undergraduate coordinator, who works with the undergraduate advisor.

 The Undergraduate Coordinator at DMES is Jane Moore. She can be reached at 471-3217. Her office is: WMB 6.118.

 Advising Bars

The purpose of advising bars is to make sure that students contact the undergraduate advisor before they proceed with their degree plan. Advising bars, which prevent students from registering via TEX, are placed on the records of incoming freshmen and newly transferred students and on the records of students who are under scholastic probation. The undergraduate advisor may also decide to place an advising bar on the records of a student who seems to be straying from a reasonable degree plan or who is slipping into a low GPA. Advising bars will be removed only after the student contacts the undergraduate advisor or the undergraduate/graduate coordinator. Students are encouraged to contact the undergraduate/graduate coordinator routinely prior to registration time to check whether their records are barred.

RIS forms indicate whether your records are barred-- remember to pick them up prior to registration time!
