Hello Cohort of 2011, I hope everyone is having a great New Year so far and that you are enjoying your Spring semester courses! Please see the information below regarding the Survey Monkey, Open House, and summer session. Thank you!
Survey Monkey:
The Survey Monkey is now closed. All first-year Ed.D. students should have confirmed their concentration selection on Survey Monkey by now even if you are not changing your concentration. The deadline to confirm your concentration was Monday, January 16, 2012, 5:00 p.m. I will now contact the students individually to confirm their concentration. Confirming your concentration allows the Ed.D. Program Staff to determine enrollment for course scheduling for the Summer 2012 semester. The required information also allows our office to prepare your registration memos and plan the courses you will take in the next two years. Any requests for changes of concentration will be forwarded with your student file to the concentration faculty chair. Decisions on these requests will be made at the end of January and students requesting a change will be notified of the result by email prior to registering for the Summer 2012 semester.
Ed.D. Program Office and the Doctoral Support Center Open House Rescheduled:
