This went out to my grad students this morning
All,
I have ready the permission codes for Summer and Fall 2011. They are now ready for the eagerly enrollment-minded among you. Please keep in mind a few things:
1. All English department courses numbered 700 and above require a permission code, which you get from me. You get from me all permission codes, which are required for all English department courses numbered 700 and above. If a course is numbered 700 or above, and is offered through the English department, it requires a permission code, which I shall give you. Neither advisors nor instructors can give you these codes, which are required for all English department classes numbered 700 and above. Please email me, call me, or come by my office to get your codes for all English department classes numbered 700 and above.
2. Request your codes as soon as possible. We track enrollment through the distribution of permission codes, and if a class doesn’t appear likely to make minimum enrollment, department administrators will cancel it. On the opposite hand is the possibility of classes filling up early. Most graduate classes are limited to an enrollment of twelve students. Requesting codes early never hurt anyone, but requesting codes late (and being denied entry to a class) can sting a bit. Or so I’ve heard.
3. Because we track enrollment through the distribution of permission codes, I need to know immediately if you are not going to use a permission code, or if you drop/switch a class. Secreting away the fact that you have decided against taking a class only annoys those of us in charge of managing enrollment and does not in any way shield the spurned course from crushing disappointment. Pull yourself together, and just let me know you changed your mind. It’s no big deal. Really.
Thank you, and don’t forget to enroll early and enroll often.

You would not believe how many students will still ask me "Do I need a code to enroll in 801 (or whatever)?" *sigh*
