What is a DUGS?
The DUGS is the Director of Undergraduate Study. S/he is responsible for advising students about how best to fulfill the requirements of the major, and about summer study, Honors study, graduate work, and so on. Normally the DUGS sets aside office hours to see students (scheduling additional hours in the 2-3 weeks before registration). The DUGS cannot advise students on CAS requirements like MAP; s/he cannot register students in closed (filled) courses, change exam times or room assignments, or handle other purely administrative issues. For technical problems with registration or queries about closed courses, students should consult the departmental administrator (contact information on the “Contact Us” page) or the College advising office. In the Department of Classics, the DUGS is always a full-time member of the faculty, so it’s good protocol to address him/her as “Professor”, especially when you’re e-mailing or calling for the first time. Keep in mind that summer is a busy time for
