Dear Students,

Currently all seats are full in BIS 390 and 490 for the Fall 2010 semester.  If 
you meet the below requirements for the respective courses and were unable 
to register when seats were available, please put yourself on the wait list 
(steps below).  Prior to doing so, please be sure that you meet the 
requirements (if you're not sure, send me an email and I'll check):

BIS 390 Requirements:
1.	Successful completion of BIS 300 (C or better)
2.	Successful completion of ENGL 302 (C or better)
3.	Approved BIS Educational Contract

6.	Approved BIS 390 Research Proposal

Again, please put yourself on the wait list if you are interested in taking one of 
the above courses in the Fall 2010.  This is not a guarantee that a seat will 
open, but in the event one does you will have a chance at it depending on your 
place on the wait list.  Adding sections for these courses can only be 
considered if we can show the enrollment needs.
