COHORT STUDENTS ADMISSION & REGISTRATION PROCESS

After a new cohort has been approved by the Dean, Provost, and Vice President for Business & Finance, the Program Director/Department Chair may start the recruitment process of potential candidates.  All candidates must be admitted to a graduate program.  At the same time the Program Director/Department Chair submits the request to the Scheduling Office in Chicago for creating cohort course sections.
