Construction In Room 4254 on Monday, 9/27
by JACKSON CONAN KENNEDY 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

Hello MSPQC Students! On Monday, 9/27, we will have workers in 4254 adding more desks to the ends of the room. In case this is bothersome/distracting to you, I have reserved room 4274 for the entire day for you to use as your temporary office. The construction should only last one day and no existing furniture should be moved. If you put any of your belongings at either end of the room, consider moving it out of the way so the crew will be able to assemble the furniture without delay. After the new desks are installed, you are welcome to change which desk is yours and to claim one of the new ones. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions! Thank you! On Wisconsin!

Spring 2022 Enrollment
by JACKSON CONAN KENNEDY 10 Nov '21

10 Nov '21

Hello MSPQC Students! The Spring 2022 schedule of classes is NOW available at https://enroll.wisc.edu/search?term=1224&subject=754 As a reminder, Spring 2022 enrollment begins on November 15th, 2021, so I'm writing to you to provide you important details about registering for courses. The Graduate School policy on enrollment requirements indicates that 8 credits are needed for full time status in the Spring semester (https://grad.wisc.edu/documents/enrollment-requirements/). Our Spring 2022 Semester officially begins on January 25th, 2022 (https://registrar.wisc.edu/dates/) As a reminder, the following courses are required for the Spring semester: * Physics 779 * Physics 551 or 751 or 449 Additionally, you can find a list of electives that MSPQC students have taken in the past here: [?pptx icon] MSPQC Handbook and Enrollment Meeting June_15_2021.pptx<https://uwprod.sharepoint.com/:p:/s/MSPQCClassof2021/EaxNBx36e6xHoQbtf3bfBW…> Before you enroll: Please connect with your faculty advisor and discuss the courses you wish to take. Then, complete your Course Plan at (https://app.physics.wisc.edu/gradvise/course-plan/) and obtain approval from your advisor. This step will help us guarantee that you will be on track to graduate. If you anticipate that a class will have competitive enrollment, please do not wait to enroll as it can always be dropped prior to the start of the semester with no repercussions. Physics 799: For those of you who need to enroll in Physics 799, please email me with details of who you will be working with (and CC that faculty member on the email) and I will respond to you with directions on how to enroll in that section. If you do not know who you will be working with, don't worry, you'll likely learn from Professor Robert Joynt in Physics 701 this semester. As always, please don't hesitate to contact me through Microsoft Teams (chat or video) or email me with any questions that you might have along the way. My last date will be November 23rd, so please reach out to Sharon Kahn for assistance after that date. I know this can be complicated and there is a lot going on right now. I'm here to assist you!
