New Student Fall of 08

Take into account that you may have to make up solo time at the end of 323 in order to satisfy the requirements. I had to make up around 13 hours of solo time at the end of the block which really sucked because I finished the very last day the grades were due (otherwise would have failed ground school). I tell you this that way you can plan ahead. It IS a short course, but can be long for six weeks depending on how much solo time you have to make up...just a heads up!
 
Some courses take 9 weeks (such as 102), but summer term is divided into 2 terms, first 6 weeks and second 6 weeks. 325 is not 9 weeks as far as I know. You can get it done in the first or second part.

Actually 325 is a 9 week summer course.
 
As I am sure people have mentioned already here are the facts for Avit 112/105/102 since I teach them. 112 is 14 lessons with the 14th lesson beign a stage check(mimicks a private pilot checkride). 105 is teh same amount of lessons but with a part 61 checkride with a DPE. 102 has 30 lessons all examining is done with UND internally. As far as why you must its because of two reasons. UND standards of flying (i.e. policies, area familarzation,and so on.) and also insurance reasons. UND needs to make sure that you the student can be covered by insruance and since you already have your private pilot and in the next course you will be flying a 250nm striaght line distance xc they want to make sure you can handle there aircraft. I had a 112 take it. He thought the flying was stupid but when it came to the stagecheck he realized that he needed to catch up on alot of stuff(not saying that you will be sometimes the memory of regs and aviation knowledge can fade with time). Needless to say I had to bring him up to standards and it took a good ole breifing and flight to do that. 112 in the summer is a entire summer course. You have to do the 102 ground school as it is required for your academic grade and for you to get you degree in any of the aviation degrees.

If youdo avit management you will not be taking the CFI or CFII courses. I would reccomend that you do since being a instructor is a easy way to make some cash when your funds are low.

Good luck and fire questions my way if you need any answers or to address concerns. Good luck and congrats.

If only that were true with this weather....sighs...

...but yes, get your CFI/CFII. I really enjoy the instructing, it's a fun job...doesn't pay well, but it's rewarding in its own way.

Well the instruction rate went up 4 dollars this semester to 47. You guys get that extra 4 right?
 
No we the instructors do not get a 4 dollar raise. the pay rate stay the same.The 4 dollar raise is there to cover increased instructor contact time. I cant really go into specifics but our pay is the same. Part-Time are still 10.50 an hour unless they are having continuous work with 4 students or more. then they go up to there prespective full time rates.

Hmmm, It sounded like they riased the instructor wage to "keep instructors at UND." I hope you guys are getting more money somewhere... Otherwise I don't know why we are paying 4 dollars more...
 
Meh, Why is und taking so long I applied early december and now is January. Come on I want to join the fun. I applied to Crookston later than UND and yet I already got in but as for UND no word yet :mad:
 
Just be patient, you can't start courses till summer or fall anyway and your gonna get the response soon. Keep in mind, Crookston is a lot smaller then UND.

If you are really impatient you can check the admission criteria. http://go.und.edu/admission-estimator/admission_default.asp

If you meet the GPA and SAT or ACT score and you have all the core requirements completed then you are pretty much guaranteed admission.
 
I guess I am reviewed by Committee what that suppose to mean? I am close to automatic admission though like 1 step, however I have good resume and good teachers recommendation? What are the chances if you get review by committee 50% 50%?
 
Don't know about chances (it's on a individual basis) but that just means they will look at your other traits and circumstances before you are granted admission. That is probaly going to take a little longer then the automatic admission.

Your chances are 100% IF you don't meet the automatic admissions criteria. However, you will most likely still get in. I was reviewed, for a missing social science credit and they let me in. I had a high GPA and good SAT scores. I don't know how it works if you have a GPA issue or SAT issue. I think the whole admissions department here is a joke, especially the director--Heidi something. Her office is very unorganized, so be aware of the dates your grades and things are due. They will most likely lose everything important, so you will probably have to send it in again. Also, the admissions department hasn't discovered the computer yet. So trying to accomplish anything via the very new concept of the internet is probably a lost cause.

I wouldn't worry. If you don't get accepted and you still want to go to UND, send in an appeal and you will get in.

Appeal? How will appeal will make them to reconsider their decision? Your lying about the admission how can they not use a computer yet? :panic:

Thats exactly what I thought too the way the lead instructor explained it to our class.
 
Please re-read this:

[off topic]
God, this thread is so full of grammatical and punctuational errors. I'm about to puke. What has America become? I'm always saddened to see the new breed of "professionals."

too be honest it doesnt really matter how i write in forums because its just the internet anyways and who cares what people think out there if theyre in some forums than they must not care about how too write good all i care about is how to fly an airplanes seriously your acting holyer than thou if you think your better then the rest than u should prolly be teaching english and not how to show people how too fly airplanes yo jigga

Now, I will tackle your question.

I guess I am reviewed by Committee what that suppose to mean? I am close to automatic admission though like 1 step, however I have good resume and good teachers recommendation? What are the chances if you get review by committee 50% 50%?

Your chances are 100% IF you don't meet the automatic admissions criteria. However, you will most likely still get in. I was reviewed, for a missing social science credit and they let me in.

I wouldn't worry. If you don't get accepted and you still want to go to UND, send in an appeal and you will get in.

I thought you were asking what the chances are to be reviewed by committee.

I think you were asking what the chances of getting in are. I still think you will be fine, as UND really takes everyone. They will review your app and most likely let you in. There isn't any percentage that get in through review.

Appeal? How will appeal will make them to reconsider their decision? Your lying about the admission how can they not use a computer yet? :panic:

First:

ap·peal (ə-pēl')
n.
1. An earnest or urgent request, entreaty, or supplication.
2. A resort to a higher authority or greater power, as for sanction, corroboration, or a decision: an appeal to reason; an appeal to her listener's sympathy.
3.Law
    1. The transfer of a case from a lower to a higher court for a new hearing.
    2. A case so transferred.
    3. A request for a new hearing.
So if you don't get into UND through the review committee the first time, send in your appeal to try again. :)


Second:

I am writing this through the telephone; the primary means of communication in North Dakota.
 
Thats exactly what I thought too the way the lead instructor explained it to our class.

"With the Flight Instructor incentives currently in place, the Flight Instructor horuly fee for students has been increased by $4, to $47 per hour effective January 1, 2008."

That's what the paper we got in class says... It goes on to say that $47 is ok because Embry Riddle and FIT rates are higher.
