During the fall semester of your second year, your focus shifts from from a primarily academic focus to more attention on your clinical education and Plan B project.  You also have a number of due dates and administrative business to take care of for your degree.  Be attentive to emails from the department, information on the Graduate School website and directions in this handbook.

Academic Courses

You have a number of academic courses in the fall semester, in addition to your Plan B Project. Typically, students also have a part-time off-campus internship.  In the spring, you will register for CSD 8099 and you will likely register for an internship. You typically will not have other academic coursework.

Plan B Project

While you are not registered for CSD 8099 this semester, you should continue working with your Advisor on your Plan B Project.  You will register for your final credit of CSD 8099 in the Spring of your second year, to complete your project.   During Fall Semester of your second year you should Assign/Update your final examination committee form.  This form is used to specify the members of your examination committee and your Plan B Adviser.
