B. Enrollment

You should plan to enroll utilizing the BANWEB system online at www.banweb.pdx.edu.

You will need to have your PSU ID and pin number ready to access registration. Most Counselor Education courses are restricted to majors only. If you attempt to enroll in a restricted class and it is not accepted, it probably means you are not identified in the university system as being a Counselor Education major. This designation should have occurred when you were formally admitted to the Counselor Education Department. The first time this occurs, consult with your faculty advisor.

Course Numbering

In most instances, courses are offered first on an experimental basis using a COUN 510 number. Within three (3) years, these courses must go through a formal approval process (program, department, entire COE faculty, Graduate Studies, University Senate, and Chancellor’s Office). When this approval occurs, the course is given a discrete number. Any formal document you complete must list the course number recorded on your transcript, even if it now has a discrete number. Consult with your advisor if you have any questions.

Continuous Enrollment

By policy of the department, continuous enrollment is expected, except for summers. If enrollment does not occur for two consecutive terms, you will be automatically dropped from the department. If students want a leave of absence they must write a letter to their advisor and department chair requesting the leave, then must meet with the advisor prior to initiating the leave to document the conditions and timeline of the student’s return.

Access and Inclusion for Students with Disabilities

PSU values diversity and inclusion; we are committed to fostering mutual respect and full participation for all students. My goal is to create a learning environment that is equitable, useable, inclusive, and welcoming. If any aspects of instruction or course design result in barriers to your inclusion or learning, please notify me. The Disability Resource Center (DRC) provides reasonable accommodations for students who encounter barriers in the learning environment.

If you have, or think you may have, a disability that may affect your work in this class and feel you need accommodations, contact the Disability Resource Center to schedule an appointment and initiate a conversation about reasonable accommodations. The DRC is located in 116 Smith Memorial Student Union, 503-725-4150.

● If you already have accommodations, please contact me to make sure that I have received a faculty notification letter and to discuss your accommodations.

● Students who need accommodations for tests and quizzes are expected to schedule their tests to overlap with the time the class is taking the test.

● For information about emergency preparedness, please go to the Fire and Life Safety web page for information.

Readmission

Readmission to the department will be considered on a case-by-case basis up to five years after exiting the program. In any case, if your earliest course work is beyond the seven-year limit, you must reapply for admission to the department.
