|HRTM News & Announcements |
|Attention HRTM Majors- Important Updates Below |
| |
|[pic] |
| |
|will have fewer sections of courses and more limited class sizes than in the past – low enrolled courses will be dropped. |
| |
|It is very important that HRTM students register as early as possible for fall 2009 classes to guarantee enrollment. We will not |
|have the funding to offer additional classes next year. Also, when space is scarce for upper division courses, students with |
|approved (by your advisor) graduation paperwork will receive priority for available spaces. Those of you who normally wait to |
|register the first week of school, will be in jeopardy of not getting into all your classes this fall. |
| |
|If you graduated last December (2008) or will graduate this spring or summer (2009), this is your last chance to register for our |
|2009 Department Convocation on Friday, May 22 from 6:00-7:30 pm. Once again the registration form is attached to this E-update – |
|please complete the survey and bring your registration materials to the front office to reserve your space at this annual event |
|ASAP. |
| |
|Finally, if you plan on graduating next December (2009) or the following May (2010) – you do need to meet with your undergraduate |
|advisor and file your graduation paperwork this semester – please see advising information for more specific instructions. |
| |
|Randy J. Virden, Ph.D |
|HRTM Chair and Professor |
| |
|[pic]HRTM Dept. Convocation will be Friday, May 22nd at 6pm (outside lawn between King Library & Science Bldg). |
|The HRTM convocation will take place on Friday May 22nd from 6:00pm-7:30pm on the outside lawn between King Library & Science Bldg.|
|This convocation is for all HRTM students who completed their coursework in the fall (2008), spring (2009) or summer (2009). |
| |
|If you want to participate in the HRTM May Convocation, you will need to complete and submit the convocation registration form |
|attached above to us asap and no later than April 10th. Please provide information for each item on the registration form and |
|bring (or mail) your completed registration form to the HRTM department office along with a check for $25.00 (made out to HRTM). |
| |
|Once you submit this information your name will be added to the list of participants and you will receive more detailed information|
|(by email) as soon as it becomes available. We look forward to celebrating your accomplishments! |
| |
|Additionally, the SJSU Commencement will be Saturday, May 23rd at 9am at the Spartan Stadium for all to attend. |
| |
|[pic]Additional HRTM Course Added for Summer 2009 Schedule |
|NuFS 20 (Sanitation & Environmental Issues) has been added to the HRTM Summer 2009 Schedule. This class will meet on Mondays & |
|Wednesdays from 9-11:00am in Clark Hall 202 and will be taught by Alan Finkelstein. This course begins June 1st and runs through |
|July 10th. |

| |
|[pic] - The most FREQUENT QUESTION asked of an HRTM advisor – when can I graduate? This is a very personal question that you can |
|answer. Use the tracking boxes at the bottom of your advising sheet to give you a better idea. Answer the following questions: |
|What HRTM classes do I still need to complete? |
|What GE courses do I still need to complete? (Assuming you track your progress in your degree audit page in MySJSU) |
|Are you seeking a minor – what classes are left to complete for the requirements? |
|Are you planning to take summer or winter classes along with fall and spring? |
|Do you have a planned absence in the coming semesters? |
|How many hours a week do you need to work or have outside obligations? |
|The number of college courses one should register must fit into my work/obligation hours AND including sufficient study/prep time. |
| |
|Have I allotted enough time to use meet the “study rule” at SJSU? Note: students are expected to allot 2 hours of study /prep time |
|for every 1 hour of class. A typical 2.5 hour class offered 2 days a week requires 4.5 hours of study/prep time per week outside of|
|instruction and other obligations. Each single class requires 7 hours of dedicated study/prep time. Do the math. (If you have less|
|time to allot than this formula suggests, you will need to reduce your semester course load or reduce your GPA expectations). |
| |
|BEST ADVISING RECOMENDATIONS |
|Keep copies of ALL paper or electronic documents that track your progress toward your degree completion. NOTE: Most graduation |
|delays are related to the student’s un-necessary “tracking down” of paperwork to justify course completion, an approved course |
|substitution or the replication of forms not delivered to HRTM at the start of the graduation application process. . |
|Come to EACH OF YOUR advising sessions with your “degree advising ‘tracking’ sheet” filled in with each course completed (semester |
|taken and grade awarded), which classes you anticipate taking in the upcoming semester and notes of GE and minor courses still |
|outstanding. |
| |
| |
|[pic]Spring 2010 Graduates: Paperwork is due by July 1st. Full-time faculty will not be on campus this summer for advising. |
