Do I need a PIN from Linguistics?

If Linguistics is your first major:

Rising juniors and seniors DO need to get your registration PIN from a LING faculty advisor before you can register for classes.

Rising first-year students and sophomores can access their own PIN online, so they don't need to get it from Linguistics. However, they are still encouraged to get in touch with a LING faculty advisor to discuss their choice of courses for the major.

If Linguistics is your second major or your minor:

You won't need to get a registration PIN from the Linguistics department. However, you are still strongly encouraged to get in touch with a LING faculty advisor to confirm that you are on track for graduation with a major or minor in Linguistics. This is especially important if you are a (rising) senior, but it's a good idea for anybody. Many of our courses are only offered once per year, so it's important to plan ahead.

How to consult with a Linguistics faculty advisor

To get your registration PIN, or just discuss your progress in the program, you can either send an e-mail or sign up for a face-to-face meeting.

(a) E-mail consultation. You can send an e-mail to the undergraduate advisor, Dr. Misha Becker, listing the Linguistics courses that you plan to register for. Misha will check your records and make sure you're on track for graduation as far as the major or minor is concerned. If everything is in order, she will e-mail you your PIN (if you need one). Or, if there is something you might need to discuss, she will ask you for a follow-up e-mail or a face-to-face meeting.

(b) Face-to-face meeting. Each semester, starting 1~2 weeks before registration begins, the LING faculty advisors will have special designated registration advising appointment times. You can also e-mail one of them (see above) to set up an appointment at a time that is convenient for you.

Appointment times

A sign-up sheet for Spring 2010 registration advising is currently posted on Misha's office door (301 Smith Building). You can sign up for a specific meeting time between 2:00 and 4:00 on Mon October 12 or Mon October 19 -- or contact Misha and ask her to reserve you one of these slots.

You can also drop in during Misha's regular office hours, which are Wednesdays, 10:00-12:00, during the Fall 2009 semester.

If these times are not possible for you, please contact Misha to make other arrangements.

For advising help outside Linguistics

For help with requirements outside of the Linguistics major/minor, such as Perspective requirements, contact Academic Advising. We recommend that you talk to the full-time advisor who specializes in Linguistics, Cheryl Junk. (The part-time advisors are less familiar with the Linguistics program.)
