Graduate Programs-College Counseling & Student Development
Financial Aid
Graduate students may apply for several forms of financial aid. Aid includes loans, work-study, scholarships, and graduate assistantships. Students interested in applying for loans and/or work-study should contact the Financial Aids Office, which is located in the Administrative Services Building . Scholarships, available from each department, occasionally are available. Students interested in applying for scholarships should see the departmental secretary, Room A-253 of the Education Building . Some scholarships may also be available through the School of Graduate Studies , Administrative Services Building AS-121. Students who are interested in scholarships through the university that are need-based must complete the financial information form at the Financial Aids Office. Graduate students may also apply for graduate assistantships. Limited aid may be available through the department in this form. Graduate assistantships require full-time status and include some work responsibilities (usually 10 to 15 hours a week). There are other assistantships available elsewhere on campus (e.g., Counseling Center, Career Services, Student Disability Services, Atwood Center, and other departments). Students may qualify for these assistantships by taking as few as eight credits. Graduate assistants in the Department of Counselor Education and Educational Psychology can expect the following of their assistantships:
First priority: Enhancement of graduate assistants' program of study.Second priority: Enhancement of instruction in classes.
Third priority: Assistance to faculty involved in graduate programs.
For the necessary application form, see the department secretary in Room A-253, Education building, phone number (320) 308-3131.
Mailboxes
Each graduate student has a mailbox in the graduate student seminar room EB A-252. It is important to check mailboxes at least once a week for notices or information distributed to students from the faculty or department.
Advisement/Fall Registration
Each new student is assigned an adviser upon acceptance into the College Counseling & Student Development program. Not all advisers are immediately available for conferences, particularly in the summer. In these cases, the program coordinator or any adviser may be contacted. For most students, it is not necessary to plan a program of study with an adviser before fall semester. If you are a full-time student, it is not necessary for you to receive "permission slips" for "By Permission Only" courses. Full-time students are automatically given permission for required classes. Registration must be completed by phone. See instructions for phone registration in the fall semester class schedule.
Part-time students wishing to take a "Permission Required" course will need to contact the faculty member teaching that particular course. Part-time students should meet with their adviser or coordinator of the College Counseling & Student Development program to plan their fall semester registration. All part-time students should plan to see their adviser early in fall semester to plan their program of study.
