to your SFSU address), register for classes, print your

transcripts, DPR or class schedule, sign up for Credit/No

Credit, drop classes (by deadline), add classes with a per-

mission number, change your address, verify your enroll-

ment, check deadlines, and many more things.

DEADLINES: DROP/ADD/CR-NC/W. Adhering to

deadlines is very important. The university is being strict

about deadlines and adhering to new policies. High unit

tional required advising. Finishing or adding double ma-

jors and minors may be more difficult. Check with your

advisor.

You must check your online registration before Sept 4 to

make sure you are properly registered. Drop deadline: Sept

4. The deadline to add a class: Sept 21. You will NOT be

allowed to add classes late. CR/NC deadline is Oct 19. Sign

process early. Your Advisor and Department Chair must

your advising appointment.

tions: http://cfsd.sfsu.edu/content/student-resources

CFS/D faculty and students organized a wonderful ceremony and celebration for our 2014-2015 graduates. The celebra-

tion took place in McKenna theatre where our College Dean, Alvin Alvarez, and CFS/D faculty talked to students, fam-

ilies, and friends. Friederike Geiken, CFS/D distinguished undergraduate student, and Alicia Connor, CFS/D distin-

guished graduate student, spoke to the graduating class. Also student representatives from each degree program spoke

about their programs. Congratulations to all! Later in the day many joined graduates and guests at AT&T Park for the

official university commencement.

Thanks to our CFS/D student workers and Dr. Vouchilas’ team for making this such a great day. We need student

organizations to work on next year’s celebration. Also we’re hoping juniors will volunteer in May for the next graduat-

ing class (when you graduate, the juniors will do it for you!). See Dr. Rabolt or Dr. Gus Vouchilas with your ideas.
