Advising and Registration

Students are strongly advised to consult with the Graduate Advising Office, the Doctoral Program director, the Jump Start director or other program director, as relevant, every semester.    Registration for practica must be approved by the Graduate Advising Office and for all student teaching courses by the Office of Field Placement.   Students are advised to register in a timely fashion for those courses they know they must take in each semester.  Graduate Education courses are typically 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 University reserves the right to divide, cancel, or reschedule classes or reassign instructors.  If course cancelations occur, students will be notified in order to adjust their schedules.  Places in limited enrollment courses cannot be held after classes begin.  Graduate Advising, in consultation with faculty, has the right to notify the Registrar’s Office to admit students to limited enrollment courses.

Wait List Policy


Students may place themselves on a wait list for a closed class at any time once registration opens, up to the official Add/Drop date for that semester.  When and if seats in that class become available, students will be notified in the chronological order in which they were added to the wait list, by email to their Manhattanville student email addresses, that they may proceed to register.  Such students must officially register themselves on Service Hub within 48 hours or that seat will be given to the next student on the wait list.

Students who are not registered may not attend classes.
