My name is Michael Greene and I am an academics intern within the athletic department. I work with Jackie Strobel, our Tutor Coordinator, with our Tutor Program that provides services to all student-athletes to complement the classroom experience and assist with course content questions. We are looking to hire tutors for the SPEA introductory courses, V160, V161, and E162.
Typically we hire undergraduates who have recently been successful in the class, but we also hire graduate students and others who are qualified. We pay $11 per hour for graduates. If you have an interest in becoming a tutor for a SPEA course, please contact me at the information provided below.
Thank you for your assistance,

Snowed Out
During winter storms like the one we've had the past few days, be sure to keep an eye on http://indianauniversity.info/.
We are back in session today, however, so all appointments scheduled for today are still on and our walk-in hours are still from 1:00-3:00 p.m.
Be safe and stay warm!

Walk-in Hours for January 26-January 30
Bear in mind that walk-ins are for admitted students with brief, specific questions or students adding a minor. If you do not fit these criteria, please call 812-855-0635 to schedule an appointment. We are now booking about two weeks out.
If you need to talk about studying abroad, a walk-in is not appropriate for you. Please schedule an appointment to speak with an advisor and don't forget to visit the Office of Overseas Study.

How to Find Your Advisement Report

3. Click "Student Self Service."
4. You should see this screen. Click on "SIS Go to Student Center" (circled below)
5. Once you've clicked that, you should see this screen and click "My Academics & Grades."
6. Once you've clicked that, you should see this screen. Click "View My Advisement Report."
7. Once you've clicked that, you should see this screen. Select "Bloomington" and "Degree Progress & Transcript" from the given drop boxes (as selected and circled below). Then click "Go" and you should arrive at your Advisement Report. Make sure to select Expand All so that all of your information shows on the report. Please print and bring to all of your advising appointments!
Walk-in hours: January 12 - January 15, 2009
Walk-in hours for the first week of classes are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9:00-11:00 a.m. and 1:00-3:00 p.m. YOU MUST BRING YOUR ADVISEMENT REPORT TO ALL APPOINTMENTS AND WALK-INS, SO PRINT IT BEFORE YOU COME!
Some of you ask, “Why do I need my advisement report? I just have one little question! It doesn’t even have anything to do with that!”
The answer is this: Your advisement report gives the advisor tons of information about your academic history and current registration. It shows exactly how what you’ve taken is fulfilling your degree requirements, as well as which requirements you have yet to fulfill. That is why it is so important to making walk-ins and appointments as productive and helpful for you as possible!
If you are concerned about the environmental ramifications of printing your advisement report, be sure to print it front and back, two pages per sheet, and recycle it once it’s become obsolete (for example: you’ve changed your registration, a grade has been changed).
As always, post your questions here or send me and e-mail (jsimendi@indiana.edu) and I’ll be sure to answer as soon as I can!
