I-SEC Students:

The Fall 2020 schedule of classes is now viewable on PatriotWeb.  Registration will begin on May 1st. Your registration time will be emailed directly to you from the Registrar's Office this week. As indicated in the Provost's email to all students, the university is considering the best options for course delivery in the Fall, and updates will be provided as they are available.

Please make a note the following information:

  *   To enroll in POGO 511 students must first pass a screening exam.  Information about this is at http://schar.gmu.edu/511.
  *   POGO 550, 750 and PUBP 710 are general elective numbers that can be taken multiple times with different topics.  Different PUBP 710/POGO 750 courses fall into different I-SEC area requirements (aka buckets) and concentrations.  Please let me know if you have questions about this.
  *   Attached to this email is a list of elective course options and area requirements (aka 'buckets') and concentrations broken out
  *   Students are encouraged to review the options under the BIOD, GOVT, ITRN, POGO, PUAD, and PUBP headings for other elective choices.  Students should consult with an advisor with any questions about elective eligibility.
  *   Course syllabi will be posted on the Schar School syllabi page<http://schar.gmu.edu/current-students/course-syllabi-and-schedule/course-syllabi/> as they become available. If a syllabus is not yet posted, please review previous semesters' syllabi to get an idea of class requirements or contact the teaching faculty directly<https://schar.gmu.edu/about/faculty-directory> to inquire
  *   All non-Schar courses will have to be pre-approved by your academic advisor before registering.
  *   The complete academic calendar and billing dates can be found on the Registrar's website<http://registrar.gmu.edu/calendars/>.

Please note the following important wait list procedures:
*         Students will be sent e-mails (to their Mason e-mail accounts) when waitlist overrides are issued.  Students will not be able to waitlist for a course if the following apply:

  1.  They are already registered for another section of the same course.
  2.  They are already on a waitlist for another section of the same course
*         For more information please visit the Registrar's Waitlist Information<https://registrar.gmu.edu/topics/waitlists/> page.

Finally, to assist you with the registration process, I will be holding "Virtual Advising Open House"  hours this Wednesday and Thursday from 12pm-1pm, and on Friday from 10am-12pm. To join, please visit: https://gmu.webex.com/meet/specini

Should you have any questions, let me know.
