All students are assigned a faculty advisor who can help students with selecting courses, choosing concentrations, thinking through internship planning, and connecting them to resources and potential networking connections. Students are highly encouraged to meet with their faculty advisor at least once per semester to plan the upcoming semester and check in about degree progress.
Each degree program has a program coordinator that can support students in tracking their degree progression, helping students plan logistics of when to take courses, and connect students to resources within the university. Students are encouraged to reach out to their program coordinator as needed with questions. Program coordinator information can be found on the "Contact Us" page.
Schedule Builder - Students can use this resource to search for courses, see pre-requisites and even build a schedule of preferred courses. *Building a schedule in Schedule Builder does not register students for the courses*
Program Planning Worksheets - Use the Program Planning Worksheet (PPW) for your program as you are planning courses to see how these courses fit into degree requirements.
GRAD999 Registration - GRAD999 is a zero-credit, tuition free registration that is meant to be used in extenuating circumstances. If you are thinking about utilizing this course, please reach out ASAP to your program coordinator to discuss your plans.
Independent or Directed Study - Students may apply a maximum of 6 credits of independent or directed study toward their Humphrey degree or post-baccalaureate certificate, guided by a specific faculty member, registering for that faculty member's section of PA 8991.
Workload per credit - When planning students should be aware that one semester credit represents at least three actual hours of work per week (including lectures, labs, recitations, study time, and so on).
