Hi Everyone,
We hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving.
The semester is nearing its end. Don't forget the following:
1) Register for the Final Written Exam over the 4 core areas if you have completed all of the required courses. The exam will be distributed on Jan. 4th. You must have added your name to the distribution list by December 11th. The URL to add your name to the list is: https://illinois.edu/fb/sec/5283479
2) If you are planning to enroll in capstone credit, and have an approved proposal, please add your name to the list at: https://illinois.edu/fb/sec/485691 Student must provide their name, the capstone project title, the course number (NRES 503 or 505), the number of hours they want to enroll in, and their capstone advisor's name in order to be authorized for enrollment.
3) All students are invited to complete course evaluations for each course in which they are currently enrolled. These evaluations, distributed by ICES, are an important way for instructors to know what you found most useful in the course and in what areas the curriculum may need improvement. Your comments are anonymous. We welcome your constructive feedback.
4) The final oral presentation of this semester is Tuesday, Dec. 1, at 9:00 am Central. The topic is: Pennsylvania Peregrine Falcon Natal Dispersal and Habitat Imprinting by Ann Devine. You can access the presentation by going to:

5) If you enrolled in capstone credit for Spring 2015 and have not completed the degree, you must petition for an extension of your "incomplete". Failure to do so will result in your course grade automatically converting to an "F". The link to the petition can be found at: http://www.grad.illinois.edu/gsas/graduate-student-request-form. The completed form should be submitted to the NRES office (nres-ssc@illinois.edu).
Best wishes on your upcoming exams, presentations, and end-of-the semester papers.
