From: Andrea Poag Date: January 10 Subject: Dyson Digest - Enrollment Updates - January 10, 2024
Hello from snowy and rainy Ithaca,
As the Spring 2024 enrollment period is almost here, I wanted to share some important reminders. In the past year, we have seen multiple situations that could have been avoided if students had only properly followed directions. It is the student’s responsibility to verify your course enrollment, graduation requirements, number of course credits, and course sections multiple times throughout a semester. Please make sure you are reading emails, following directions, and asking for clarification when unsure.
As a special note, I am also asking for your patience during the beginning of the semester as two of our Academic Advisors are on leave after recently welcoming new babies to the world.
We are looking forward to having you back on campus and in the halls of Warren! See you soon.
Andrea Poag
Director, Dyson Office of Student Services & Advising

EMAIL REMINDERS
How to get an email reply As a quick reminder, please ONLY email one address in our office with questions or concerns. The best option is to email Dyson_Registrar@Cornell.eduwith specific course-related questions but do not copy Nicole (or other staff) on the email as well.
MAY 2024 GRADUATES
If you are planning to graduate in May 2024, watch for emails from Nicole Heasley, Dyson Registrar to verify you are enrolled in the correct requirements. Some 2024 graduates may have already received these emails. Keep in mind, that if you make changes to your schedule, it is your responsibility to verify the courses are correct. It is vital that you review your CU email regularly.
