Please see Registration Policies for information about Economics policies regarding registration. If an instructor has not yet been assigned, you will need to wait until an instructor is assigned. No permission numbers are given for Economics 1101 and 1102. Students should watch for cancellations on the online Class Schedule.
Advising services are provided by walk-in, phone-in, or e-mail.
Most Economics advising needs can be met by coming in to 4-100A Hanson. No appointment is necessary but since walk-in ours vary from day-to-day and week-to-week, please check Madhu’s schedule in advance. Please click here for current office hours. Her hours are also posted on the door of 4-100A Hanson, and are available from the main departmental office in 4-101 Hanson.
Many questions and issues can be resolved via e-mail (econadv@umn.edu). Madhu will make every effort to answer your question in a timely manner but you should not put off your e-mail question until the last minute. When sending an e-mail be sure to include:
* Your first and last name;

* A brief explanation about your question or concern.
Phone-in
Students may phone in their questions during walk-in hours. To ensure that your adviser will be in when you call, send an e-mail to econadv@umn.edu to find out about office hours. If you are calling at other times, be sure to speak clearly and slowly to leave a message that includes:
* Your first and last name;
* Your ID number;
* Your local telephone number (Long distance calls cannot be made from this office. (If you are not at a local number, you will be better served to send an e-mail.);

Meetings About Graduate Study
During each academic year, we try to have informational meetings for our undergraduate majors, which are held in conjunction with a regular meeting of the Economics Student Organization. The meetings give information about law schools, MBA programs, and graduate programs in Economics.
Listserv Account for Economics Majors
The department has set up a listserv account for economics majors. The address is ECON-MAJ@lists.umn.edu. It is maintained by the Economics Undergraduate Adviser (econadv@umn.edu). All economics majors are automatically members of this account. If you are an economics major and are not on this list, please let Madhu Bhat know and she can add your name. Students can hold discussions with their peers about economics and related issues. The Department puts out information about special events, seminars, talks, internships, job opportunities, university or departmental policies relating to the Economics major, and other pertinent information on this listserv. All economics majors are responsible for information relayed to them via this listserv. If you use an e-mail account that is different from your University x500 account, please make sure you forward all messages.
