As we head into the last full week of the semester, please take a minute to map out your plan to finish your assignments, projects, and finals in a balanced way.

  • Review the LSC resources to learn more ways to finish the semester strong.
  • Remember that communication is vital – make sure you are working closely with your instructors and course assistants as we wrap up the semester.

This is an extremely busy time for everyone around campus so patience is important. If you have a question for the Dyson Office of Student Services and Advising, the best option is to email Dyson_OSS@Cornell.edu. This way your question can be directed to the correct person. Please do not email multiple people about the same question.

Continue to take care of yourself and look out for others. Refer to the resources below for support as needed.
