Reminders and Deadlines
Dear CUNY Baccalaureate Students-
- I hope that those of you who aren’t working very hard on a winter session class are enjoying the break. I’d like to encourage you to be mindful of a few approaching deadlines:
Area of Concentration forms were due on December 1st for all students admitted into the Program for Summer and Fall 2007 and students admitted earlier than that are well past their deadlines. Getting your AOC approved is a critical part of your requirements; if you have not done so you should be working diligently to find a mentor and get your AOC approved by Dr. Hartswick ASAP. - Students who plan to graduate in June or September 2008 should schedule graduation audits as soon as possible. If you plan to graduate in June you MUST have a graduation audit prior to the beginning of the Spring 2008 semester.
- All students who have at least 90-100 credits (or who will reach this point at the end of the semester) and have approved AOC form(s) are encouraged to schedule graduation audits regardless of how many semesters of courses they have remaining. CUNY BA does audits early so that students have time to plan out their final semesters, rather than waiting until the end when it is too late to adjust registration or meet requirements.
- Do not wait to contact your Academic Advisor about registration. If you have questions about requirements, you want to confirm that courses will meet requirements or if you have problems registering please deal with that as early as possible. We cannot adequately advise 700 students simultaneously. You should also plan to register AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE and not wait until late January.
- The CUNY Baccalaureate Scholarships Application is now available on our website. The absolute deadline for this application is February 22, 2008- no exceptions will be made.
- All forms are available on our website and you should visit both the website (http://www.cunyba.cuny.edu/) and our blog (http://cunyba.blogspot.com/) regularly for updated information.
- Finally, the CUNY BA Office (and the Graduate Center) will be closed on Monday, January 21, 2008.
If you have any questions please contact your Academic Advisor:
A-F Helene Brown 212.817.8229
G-N Rafal Szczurowski 212.817.8225
O-Z Kate McPherson 212.817.8237
If you are unable to reach your Advisor right away please leave a message or send an e-mail and we will respond to you in a timely manner. All Academic Advisors are now full-time but this is a busy time of year so you can’t always expect immediate service. Please do not contact an Advisor for another alpha group if you do not reach your Advisor immediately. All students will be responded to as quickly as possible.
If you have a registration problem please contact your Academic Advisor or the CUNY BA Registrar’s Office (212.817.8227). To schedule an appointment for a graduation audit or a credit check please contact our main office (212.817.8221). Area of Concentration forms can be faxed (212.817.1512) or e-mailed to your Academic Advisor.

Talbots announced the launch of its 11th annual Talbots Women's Scholarship Fund, a program that annually awards $100,000 in college scholarships to women wanting to attend college later in life.
Sponsored by the Talbots Charitable Foundation, this unique Scholarship Fund has awarded five $10,000 scholarships and fifty $1,000 scholarships each year since its inception in 1997. The Fund was created to fill a void in scholarship programs which are typically awarded to traditional college students. To date, the Fund has awarded one million dollars in college scholarships to over 500 women primarily in their 40's and 50's.
The Talbots Charitable Foundation serves the community through its support of the arts, education, health and civic services. Founded in 1947, Talbots is a leading specialty retailer, cataloger and e-tailer.
Applications for the 2008 Talbots Women's Scholarship can be downloaded online. Eligible applicants must be women currently residing in the United States who earned a high school diploma or GED at least 10 years ago; are currently seeking a degree from an accredited 2- or 4-year college, university or vocational-technical school; and have at least two full-time semesters or 24 credits remaining to complete their undergraduate degree.
The postmark deadline for entries is January 2, 2008, or until 1,000 eligible applications have been received, whichever is earlier. Scholarship recipients will be notified by the end of July 2008.
