You are halfway done with the second semester of the Ed.D. Program! I hope it has been a great experience thus far. Here are some important items you should be aware of for March.
Summer 2011 Registration: Registration for the Summer 2011 semester begins today, March 1. By now, all students should have received a registration memo. Students should be registering in their first concentration course and Inquiry Methods I. Please note that your tuition will be due the billing cycle following your registration. This date will appear on the ePay system. Please let me know if you have any difficulties during the registration process or if you need me to re-send a copy of the registration memo to you. Booklists for the summer semester will be sent to you shortly.
Summer 2011 Financial Aid: Students may now begin registering for Summer 2011 financial aid. Please visit the following website for complete details on how to apply for financial aid: http://www.usc.edu/admission/fa/applying_receiving/graduates2/summer.html. You will need to complete the 2011 Summer Loan Request Form, which can be found at the following website: http://www.usc.edu/admission/fa/private/docs/1112/SLRF201112.pdf. If you have any questions or concerns about the financial aid process, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 213-740-1111.
Fall 2011 Registration: As strange as it may seem, Fall 2011 registration is right around the corner. Registration will begin on April 1, 2011. You will be receiving registration memos in the coming weeks.
Preliminary Review: As we move closer to the end of your second semester, I wanted to remind you to save all of your final course papers. You will be asked to submit your final paper for each of the four core courses as part of the Preliminary Review process. I will be sending out more detailed information about the Preliminary Review process in the coming weeks. The Prelminary Review will take place in early May.
Summer Conference: At the end of the summer semester, the Ed.D. Program Office will be holding its Summer Conference. The event will be held from 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM on Saturday, August 20, 2011. You will have the opportunity to listen to various thematic dissertation group topic presentations by the faculty chairs. You will be receiving much more information in the coming months.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you very much!
