Advising Meeting
Please set up an advising meeting before the start of registration for your class. In preparation for this meeting, you will need to have completed the tentative schedule and four-year plan, described below.

Tentative Schedule
The schedule must include class numbers and titles, section numbers, and meeting times. The schedule must be typewritten, and it can be submitted by e-mail or hard copy.

Four-year Plan
Please download the Excel spreadsheet template (click here). Complete this form and save it under your name. E-mail the completed schedule to me before our advising meeting: smurphre@allegheny.edu

APL Paper
Please prepare a short informal essay describing your 'end-game' for your remaining academic career. What has compelled you to pursue study in this discipline? What is the motivation behind your choice of minor? How has your plan changed since last year?

Include your plans (however sketchy or tentative) for life after Allegheny. What sort of career options are you tossing about? Will you pursue internships or other experiential study in preparation for your career while still in college? Don't worry too much about any formal presentation--just get the thoughts on paper.

Do not submit the paper electronically! Place a hard copy in the basket by my office door marked "APL Papers".

Due date: The last Friday of spring semester classes.

Failure to meet any deadlines or requirements above will result in No Credit for the APL
