If you are a current SMU student requesting to be signed in to a full course, please note that my.SMU keeps a waitlist for PLSC courses. My best advice is to get a spot on the waitlist, and then to keep an eye on the course enrollment, as students typically change their schedules before the start of classes. I do not add seats beyond the enrollment cap.
If you are a current student seeking an advising appointment, please take a look at my regular office hours in LibCal. I also designate this time for advising.
If you are a current or former student seeking a letter of recommendation...
My goal is to write a letter that materially improves your application and speaks to your strengths as a student. To that end, I aim to say uniformly positive things about your academic work. This means that you have done exemplary work in my classes, earning a final grade of B+ or above.
I require at least 2 weeks' advance notice before a letter is due (more is better!).
In your email request, please include all of the relevant information about the program or scholarship for which you are applying, along with the link for submission. Please also include your resume or CV.
