General Information
Most important: Don't wait until the last minute.
Touch base with your advisor at least once per semester. Also, keep abreast of Grad School Deadlines.

If you're following the Cohort Plan, you will probably hear all you need to know in Saturday class. Once you know what you're going to take, email your advisor this information:

Name
All courses you've had up to now (this degree only)
What you're taking now
What you want to take next
When you plan to graduate

With these few information items, the advisor can usually check your status and clear you for registration. He/she will let you know if more discussion is necessary.

My advisees: you may simply write a note and leave it in your folder, or email - your choice.

Remember: Don't wait until the last minute. You must be cleared by your advisor, and professors often disappear to points unknown for days at the time! If you take care of registration well in advance, you will minimize your worries.

Spring 2006

Old, but relevant to Spring 2005:
Ed.S. Students (Cohort 3)
As you wrap up your program, keep these things in mind:

Here is where you depart from the cohort plan and need to speak with your advisor to finalize your Program of Study.
You must take EDIT 7340. It's offered only in spring: Trends and Issues in SLM. Tallman - probably mostly online - call no. 83-510.
Applied Projects: time to get with your advisor about yours if you plan to graduate in Spring or Summer.
