Advising and Registration

All graduate registrations must be approved by a member of the Graduate Advising Office or the Doctoral Program Coordinator, by signature or electronically. Registration for all student teaching courses must be approved by the Office of Field Placement. Upon matriculation, each student will be assigned an appropriate faculty advisor and informed of that assignment in Fall and Spring. Students are advised to register in a timely fashion for those courses they know they must take in a given semester. Graduate Education courses are closed with 25 students; however, some courses, including some methods and assessment courses, practica, seminars, Liberal Arts, and technology courses, are closed with fewer students.

Students who are not registered may not attend classes.

Registration Conditions

The College also reserves the right to divide, cancel, reschedule classes or reassign instructors if enrollment or other factors require. If course cancellations occur, students will be notified in order to adjust their schedules. Places in limited enrollment courses cannot be held after classes begin. An instructor or Graduate Advising has the right to notify the Registrar’s Office to admit someone else to a limited enrollment course if a student fails to attend the first class meeting.
