From Associate Dean Jordan

I understand some students are planning to take Remedies next fall before graduating in December. This year was the first time we offered a section of Remedies in the fall. We will not know until February or March whether we will be offering Remedies next fall. If you want to take Remedies (which I highly recommend) before graduating in December, you should take in in Spring 2013.
