Hi everyone,
It was great to feel the energy back in Warren Hall last week. Thank you to everyone who stopped in to say hello and provide updates about your summer. I look forward to speaking with more of you when I return from leave.
Make sure to review the enrollment reminders below.
September 6th is the last day to add a course for the fall 2023 semester. This is also the date you will be dropped from Canvas if you have not been officially to the course.
Good luck this fall!
Andrea Poag
Director, Student Services and Advising
WAITLIST UPDATE
If you are on an online waitlist, please be patient as the Registrar's office works through enrollments manually. You will be notified if you are next on the list.
CANVAS ENROLLMENT Being on canvas is not being officially enrolled in the course. If you are not officiallyadded to the course by the add deadline, your access will be removed.
SPECIAL STUDIES ENROLLMENT
Beginning today, January 12, 2023, the online application for independent study/undergraduate research/teaching assistant (course assistant) will be available through Experience Cornell. Please look for the following form titles:
Once the application is submitted and fully approved, you will receive a Permission Number by email. You must self-enroll in the course through Student Center(search by the Class Number) – you are not enrolled in the class until it is on your Student Center schedule. Please pay careful attention that you enter the approved number of credits and grade option when enrolling. If enrolling in a special studies course or TA course puts you over your maximum credit limit, you will be required to complete a petition before the enrollment for the special studies enrollment can be processed.
Petitions to ADD a special studies course will not be accepted after the deadline, NO exceptions even if you have been working the full semester.
TRIPLE-CHECK THAT YOU ARE ENROLLING IN THE CORRECT NUMBER OF CA CREDITS!
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY REMINDER
Students are responsible for verifying their course enrollment, graduation requirements, number of course credits, and course sections multiple times throughout the semester. Any questions or concerns should be discussed with an Academic Advisor in the Dyson Office of Student Services & Advising.
REMINDER ABOUT BREAKS
Being in the classroom is vital to success in reaching the learning outcomes for the course. Instructors have different approaches to course attendance, but it is important for students to refer to their syllabus for each course BEFORE scheduling travel. Travel is not an excused absence and could impact a student’s final grade.

Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI)
Vision: The Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management will be the premier school for a diverse and inclusive climate of belonging, successfully preparing graduates to address the business challenges of our diverse, interconnected world.
Mission: We strengthen diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging at Dyson through three intersecting areas that are central to fostering inclusive communities across difference and holistic student development: enrichment, engagement, and education. The Dyson Diversity Council sits at the intersection of these three areas.
Council Definition: An alliance of Dyson undergraduate and graduate student leaders, Dyson faculty, and Dyson administration to strengthen and promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging at Dyson; and to support the efforts of the SC Johnson College of Business as relevant to the Dyson School.
Council Vision: To create a better Dyson School that embraces and nurtures diversity in thought, actions, identity, and experiences of all stakeholders guided by the Diversity Council’s mission and purpose. Members of the Council will act as a representative channel for all stakeholders in the Dyson School to build strong connections internally with the Dyson School and externally with the SC Johnson College of Business and Dyson alumni.
Council Mission: The Diversity Council cultivates trust and community by identifying patterns in the student experience through open-dialogue communication amongst Dyson students, faculty, and staff. At its core, the Diversity Council members will act as agents of change and as a uniting support pillar to further promote the mission and vision of the Dyson Office of Diversity and Inclusion, cultivating an inclusive and equitable environment for all the Dyson School and by extension the SC Johnson College of Business at large.
