SPRING 2010 REGISTRATION INFORMATION
For students who were unable to register for spring MAC classes due to closed sections - you have now been added to those classes. Please check your schedule to make sure that all sections appear and you know the timing of your spring classes.
For students who registered for PA 598 (Governmental and Nonprofit Accounting) for spring 2010: The class is a 2-credit hour class. Don't drop the course - we want to ensure that you all get the technical knowledge that this class provides and still meet the 31-hour MAC requirement, so the MAC Curriculum Committee is developing a 1-hour special topics class that you will also be registered for. We will get your feedback on the course subject in the next week or so.
We need students to sign up for Section 003 of ACC 530 (Advanced Tax 4:30 - 5:45)! If you are currently registered for an earlier section of the course and can change your schedule to take Section 003 instead, please do so. It is important that we get enough students registered for this section!
