Dear Graduate Students, Happy New Year! A reminder that, if you're planning on signing up to take either ENGL 791: Thesis Course or ENGL 795: Independent Study in Spring 2020, the deadline to submit your sign-up forms is tomorrow, *Friday, January 3*. If you have already submitted your sign-up forms but have yet to receive confirmation, not to worry--you will soon. My sincere apologies to those of you who have emailed me in the past couple of weeks and are still waiting for a response--you should hear from me in the next couple days. Between getting sick and the holidays, I've been mostly offline and am slowly starting to work through my huge backlog of emails. If you're expecting a reply and don't receive one by Sunday, please do feel free to follow up with me and Bill. I'm traveling January 5-13 but will do my best to check email when I can and/or respond as soon as I return. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Wishing you all a restorative winter break!

Once your form/proposal has been approved, you'll be registered for 791.
