Also attached are course descriptions for SPG 2013. Many classes are already full (see below for information about overtallies), but some still have seats available. All best wishes, Caroline Hong Andrea Walkden Program Directors, MA English SPRING 2013 - BEGINNING OF SEMESTER ANNOUNCEMENTS MA PROGRAM Academic Calendar The academic calendar for Spring 2013 is available on the Registrar's webpage: <http://www.qc.cuny.edu/registrar> http://www.qc.cuny.edu/registrar We encourage you to bookmark the page and make an especial note of any deadlines that pertain to you.

This way, we can organize our hours more efficiently and provide advice faster and more effectively to you. We're also available to meet at other times during the week by appointment and are always available to you by email - often this is the quickest way for you to reach us. Professor Hong is the advisor for students working on independent studies (ENGL 795). Professor Walkden is the advisor for students working on thesis essays (ENGL 791). All other inquiries may be directed to either one of us. MA English List Serve Important information about the program, including events and upcoming deadlines, will continue to be announced through the semester on the graduate studies listserve: <mailto:maenglish@lists.qc.cuny.edu> maenglish(a)lists.qc.cuny.edu. Students entering the program from Fall 2011 forward have been subscribed to this listserve automatically.

Registering for Closed Classes Registration for all MA English classes closes on CUNYFirst when 15 seats have filled. If you wish to be considered for an overtally you will need to contact the course instructor. Please be aware that instructors have no obligation to accept you in a class that is already full and that all instructor decisions are final. If you are granted an overtally, please ask the instructor to email one of us and we'll register you for the course, confirming with you and the instuctor once we have done so. Registering for English 791 If you are planning to register for ENGL 791 and have not found a thesis advisor or submitted a thesis sign-up form, please contact Professor Walkden as soon as possible. The deadline for having your thesis sign-up form formally approved is Friday February 1, the end of the first week of classes. No student will be permitted to register for ENGL 791 without having first submitted the sign-up form. One Stop Service Center The One Stop Service Center (OSSC) is staffed with the nicest and most helpful people from the Office of the Registrar, Bursar, and Financial Aid Office and is by far the quickest way to get any financial or registration problems resolved and your questions answered. It is located in the Dining Hall, Room 128 and is open during regular office hours Monday-Friday, 9-5pm. When classes are in session it is also open on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 5-7pm. The New QCard In order to enter Rosenthal library you will need to make sure you have one of the new College ID cards, known as the QCard. QCards are issued in the QCard Office, located in the Dining Hall, Room 116C. You must bring two photo IDs as proof of identification (e.g., your old college ID, a driver's license, a state-issued non-driver ID, or a passport). Let us know if you have any questions and enjoy the start of the semester! Caroline Hong Andrea Walkden Program Directors, MA English
