This may be a duplicate message. Because it is important I am sending
it again. As you know the email at the College is not doing so well
right now and the information below is very important.
>>
>> Students,
>>
>> Welcome to the Byzantine bureaucracy. By now you should have received
>> the announcement that we are moving to new software called CUNYfirst.
>> It will be replacing a number of older programs including the
>> registration software. There have been number of glitches in the
>> software and there is still some doubt about the implementation
>> process. We are as much in the dark as you are concerning this issue.
>> Please take note of the following:
>>
>> 1. Right now we are blocked from making any changes in the Spring
>> Course schedule that was due on October 1st using the old software
>> 2. Because of budget problems at the University/College we have had
>> to
>> cut the adjunct budget by 10% which has resulted in reduced course
>> offerings
>> 3. No classes with fewer than fifteen students [excluding labs where
>> there are fewer than fifteen seats] will be offered
>> 4. We are unsure if CUNYfirst will work as promised so be prepared –
>> expect the best and plan for the worst
>> 5. Ignore the GSLIS course listing on the QC website, but not the
>> listing on the GSLIS website [see below]
>> 6. Pre-registration has been put off by the College until November
>> 22nd
>> 7. We will be conducting our own pre-registration as soon as we get
>> the necessary new course codes, section numbers etc.
>> 8. Stay tuned for information regarding the GSLIS pre-registration
>> times, dates etc. which will be coming soon
>>
>>
>> In order to make our part a bit smoother we have done the following:
>>
>> At the bottom of the GSLIS departmental web site you will find “Spring
>> 2011 Registration Information” with three links
>> a. Schedule of Classes for the Spring – here you will find the actual
>> course listing which you should be consulting
>> b. Current Course Listing – this is an up-to-date list of all of
>> our courses
>> c. Course Rotation – this shows the semesters that various courses
>> are
>> scheduled to be offered [Spring 2011-Fall 2016]
>>
>> Note that GSLIS 767 has 25 hours of field work and that 761 and 764
>> are school media specialist courses and have limited appeal to those
>> not in that sequence.
>>
>> As I said above – Stay Tuned!
