Dear Students, Monday Sept. 5 is Labor Day holiday; the university will be closed and classes do not meet. Also, a reminder that the last day to add or drop a class for the fall 2011 semester is on *Tuesday, Sept. 6*. Please log in now to Patriot Web <https://patriotweb.gmu.edu> and under the "Student Services" Registration section check your fall schedule to be sure you have registered for all your classes, and have dropped any that you no longer are going to take. Make any changes to your schedule BEFORE the 6th, as there will be no changes after that date without Dean's approval and extra tuition costs. Any paperwork for directed studies will need to come to my office by Friday Sept. 2 -- this week! Thank you, Diane St. Germain -- Diane St. Germain Coordinator, Graduate Academic Programs *Biology, Biosciences, Bioinformatics* *George Mason University* MS 5B3, 10900 University Blvd. Manassas, VA 20110 *Phone* (703) 993-4263, *Fax* (703) 993-8976
