IMPORTANT STRATEGIES FOR PLANNING PERIOD

1. The request table has the option to email student's individually; however, you can email all pending students by clicking MailTo: All Pending Students.

2. You can finalize your advisee's plan with pending POI/PreReq approvals; however, students are strongly encouraged to receive them before advisor finalization, but instructor action will update the student requests.

3. POI/PreReq approvals can be done completely electronically; however, you may request additional information via email or through a face to face meeting.
