How will you spend the winter break?

  1. Relax and Be Happy!
    You've worked hard this semester, so be sure to take some time to relax!  Take a break and enjoy some special time with family, friends and loved ones this holiday season.  Do something that makes you happy!
  2. Take a Winter Class
    It's not too late to register for an online, in-person or hybrid class in December or January.  Keep in mind that the classes are accelerated so they move pretty quickly. Not sure what classes fit your degree program?  Ask me!  For a list of winter classes, visit bit.ly/1bLcVLK  
  3. Get Registered for Spring Semester
    Before you settle into winter vacation, be sure to register for your Spring courses.  Sections are filling up fast, so don't wait until January to register.  
  4. Meet with your Advisor
