Graduate Programs-Rehabilitation Counseling
Required Orientation Program
All new students (both full-time and part-time) must attend the Fall orientation meeting held in early fall semester. Important information about the graduate program is presented at this meeting. Also, there is time for students to ask questions. Equally important, the meeting provides the opportunity for the students to meet and socialize with each other and the faculty.
Definitions
Full-time students: The university, including the Financial Aids Office and Graduate Office, views graduate students who have eight or more credits per semester as being “full-time”. However, in the Rehabilitation Counseling Program, 12 to 15 credits per semester constitutes full-time status. Students who will complete their program in four semesters are considered to be full-time students. The maximum credit load is 16 credits per semester during Fall, Spring and Summer. The approval of the graduate dean and your adviser is necessary to take more than the maximum credit load.
Part-time students: Graduate students who have fewer than 8 credits per semester are considered to be part-time by the university. In the Rehabilitation Counseling program, graduate students who have less than 12 to 15 credits per semester have part-time status. It is important to note that part-time students may have more difficulty scheduling classes. Full-time students have priority in registration over part-time students. Also, some classes are offered only once per year or every 2 years. Therefore, it is imperative that part-time students work closely with their adviser.
Schedules and registration
Class schedules are usually available a week before advance registration. As well as listing courses offered, the schedules contain important information about when and where to register (advance and general), the process of dropping and adding courses, the payment of fees, projected course offerings for coming semesters, and other pertinent information. Schedules can be picked up in the lobby of the Administrative Services Building .
It may be difficult for some graduate students to be on campus during the hours of the Administrative Services Building or of advance registration. These students can be put on a mailing list and receive a class schedule and registration form that can be completed by the student and mailed to the college. To be on the mailing list for evening and extension classes, students should contact the Center for Continuing Studies located at 516 4th Avenue So. , phone number 308-3081. To be on the mailing list for day classes, students should contact Records and Registration in AS 118, phone number 308-2111.
