This message is directed to all students taking MAS/ARST courses in the 2013-2014 Winter Session.

If you are in the stand-alone MLIS program, remember you must get permission from the Rick Kopak, SLAIS Graduate Adviser, before you register for any ARST courses [this also applies to students in the stand-alone MAS program who wish to take any LIBR courses].  You must complete and submit this form prior to registration:
