• Check your remaining course requirements for your designated major, minor, etc. in Degree Works (or, if you started prior to Fall 2015, on your signed curriculum checksheet).
• Review the online course schedule for class availability and draft a schedule that will work for you.
• Make sure you don’t have any holds on your registration by checking RU Access.
• Check your RU student email for important announcements from me or the university.

Include in your email:
