Remember to Register for Courses Before You Leave!
As we plan for our fall course enrollments and potential new course options to be announced upon the hiring of our new instructor, we'd like to make sure that all current EDC students have completed their pre-registration steps and have registered for their fall classes before heading out for the summer. This will help us to identify times that work for students who may want to enroll in new courses that are offered in Fall 2017.
If you are completing your practicum field assignment this summer and have any trouble registering for CVEN 5939 for Fall 2017, please contact
Robyn Sandekian. Only students who intend to graduate in August 2017 should enroll in CVEN 5939 for Summer 2017. Registering for summer means that you will be charged tuition during the summer and that your final grade for the course must be submitted by August 16, 2017.
