For more information on this program please visit:
ASU students and faculty are expected to act with integrity in their educational pursuits - discover what academic integrity is and why it is important. See the Policy and Code of Conduct page for more details on academic integrity and other university policies.
Important: This program does not lead to teacher certification. For information on education programs that lead to teacher certification, visit the MLFC Graduate Program webpage and look for a master's program with teacher certification listed.
Upon admission to the program, each MEd Higher and Postsecondary Education student is assigned a sequence of courses. It is important to follow the assigned course sequence and discuss any variation from the sequence with an academic advisor. In addition to guiding your enrollment each semester, your course sequence will act as a guide when you create your iPOS also known as your “Interactive Plan of Study”.
To access your iPOS, log in to your My ASU page, and in the My Programs box, click on “iPOS” below the name of your program. Then click “Graduate Interactive Plan of Study (iPOS).”
Please review the iPOS how-to guide and video tutorial available on how to fill in all sections of your iPOS:
To complete your iPOS, you will need your specific course sequence listed under your term of admission. Click the link for the sequence you are following for the semester you started your coursework. The specific course sequence will also include the term (fall, spring, or summer) and the session (A or B).
The courses to enter on your iPOS will be in categories under the Courses - Course Admin section of the iPOS. Use your course sequence to determine which classes are entered under each category and the semester you will complete the course.
Your faculty advisor is Antonio Duran. You will search for this name under the Faculty Committee section of the iPOS and select the role as Chair.
Once complete, submit your iPOS for approval by navigating to the tab labeled “Summary/Submit”. Please note that a submitted and approved iPOS can be updated at any point prior to graduation.
