Check prerequisites for your classes.◦ Check the class schedule. If you have not met a

prerequisite for your class, you will need to do so before taking the course.

If you are on a waitlist, attend the first class meeting.◦ If you do not attend, you will lose the opportunity to add

the class.

Drop a class if you decide not to attend.◦ Go to eServices to drop your class within the first two

weeks to avoid receiving a “W” grade on your transcripts.

SLEEPE PrincipleDr. William Moore, UT Austin, CCLP

Consciously or not we tip people off as to what our expectations are.

We exhibit thousands of cues, some as subtle as the tilting of heads, raising of eye brows or dilation of nostrils, but most are much more obvious.

And people pick up on those cues.

"There's a human capital out there that we have not totally harnessed. That may be part of what keeps me going. It's like mining gold. It's there, we need it, and we can't afford to lose it."
