Initial Advising
Special Education - Graduate
College of Education

Graduate students in special education are assigned to an advisor within the College of Education.  Initial advisement includes a check of undergraduate general education requirements and the development of a program plan that fits each student’s time frame and availability.

Because we believe that advising is an important part of teaching, you will be assigned to one advisor to help you through the program from your first class through graduation and certification. 

Pre-registration advisement takes place in November for spring and summer terms and in April for fall term.  Because courses fill it is always a good idea to schedule an appointment with your advisor and register during these periods of time set aside for that purpose.
