Modified ISSO Scholar Services Schedule in November 2009

Please note that the ISSO Scholar Services team will be attending a professional conference and will be away from the office on Wednesday, November 3 and Thursday, November 4, 2009. Regrettably, this will disrupt our normal Scholar Services schedule for that week as follows:

• ISSO Walk-In Hours on Wednesday, November 3, will be cancelled.

• MED Campus Hours usually held on Thursdays, will be postponed to Friday, November 5.

In addition, please bear in mind that due to the Veteran’s Day Holiday on Wednesday, November 11, and the Thanksgiving Holiday on Thursday, November 26 and Friday, November 27, the ISSO will be closed on these days.

We ask that you please plan accordingly to make certain the ISSO Scholar Services Team is available to assist you.
