Do I have an advisor flag from Linguistics?

If Linguistics is your first major:

Rising juniors and seniors DO have a LING advisor flag, which you must have lifted by a LING faculty advisor before you can register for classes.

Rising first-year students and sophomores do not have a LING advisor flag. 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 have an advisor flag lifted by 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 advisor flag lifted, 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 lift your LING advisor flag (if you have 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

During times of active registration advising (typically October and March), this web page will have specific information about registration advising appointments with the LING faculty advisors.

For advising help outside Linguistics

For help with requirements outside of the Linguistics major/minor, such as General Education 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.)
