Advisement

A program plan will be individually developed for you based on your responses to the pre-advisement questionnaire. Changes and adjustments can be made by consulting with the Graduate Program Director and/or Graduate Practicum Coordinator.

Advisement appointments can be scheduled with the Graduate Program Director and/or Graduate Practicum Coordinator in the fall and spring semesters. It is expected that students come to each advisement session prepared with an understanding of the program expectations and any questions they would like addressed. 

During the advisement session: 

• The ASHA certification requirements are used to guide the discussion of the student’s Program Plan and course selection. This Graduate Advisement Planner may be a helpful document.

• Portfolio progress is discussed

• Practicum placements are reviewed and discussed

• Student questions are answered.

Bring to your Advisement session each semester:

• Your electronic Program Plan

• Access to your NazNet 

• Any questions or concerns

Students must register for the agreed upon courses and practicum codes in NazNet. If a student wishes to alter their plan, they must meet with the Graduate Program Director and/or the Graduate Practicum Coordinator for approval. 

Students must have a minimum of 6 graduate credits per semester to be full time. If there is a semester during which a student falls below 6 credits but is in a full time practicum (usually in the final semester), they may complete a petition for full time status  for financial aid and loan purposes.
