Assignment and Role of Advisors
Each student is assigned an academic advisor upon admission to the graduate program in Special Education. The advisor will be a full-time faculty member and will be familiar with the specialty area in which the student is interested. Students should meet with an advisor prior to application to the degree program and/or meet with the assigned advisor immediately upon learning of admission to the degree program, in order to outline a sequence of required and elective courses. The advisor acts as academic guide, professional mentor and advocate while students move through their program of studies. The academic advisor signs off on the Memorandum of Courses, to be filed with the Graduate College.
Change in Advisor
Students may request a change in advisor by contacting the Graduate Faculty Chairperson in writing with a rationale for the change.
