Tips to Make Things Go Easily
Once you are admitted to a program, an understanding of administrative procedures will make your experience more enjoyable and positive. The following, therefore, are tips that will help you find your way through the bureaucracy and finish your program in a timely and successful manner.- All of our graduate programs are housed in the Department of Graduate Studies in Education (GSE) office. We are located in the GYTE Annex, Room 122, and our phone number is 219-989-2326. The office personnel are Virginia Rhodes, secretary and Dr. Robert Colon, Department Head.
- During the admissions process, please check with Virginia regularly to make certain that necessary paperwork is completed on time. Your admission to a program will not occur until all of the required materials are received. It is your responsibility to make certain that all necessary documents are requested and sent to our office. You can save yourself much time and trouble by being conscientious in the gathering of required documentation.
- Once you are admitted, you must register for classes. PUC allows registration online. However, you cannot register for courses in GSE programs without permission from your advisor. It is important, therefore, to find out when registration begins each semester, see your advisor about appropriate coursework, and register in a timely fashion. Failure to get your advisor's permission may result in your being dropped from a class for which you registered. Because of state and federal requirements, it is necessary for us to sequence our programs and supervise enrollment carefully. Please don't cause difficulties for yourself by omitting this most important step. Registration dates are posted on calendars located all over campus, including our GSE office.
- Another most necessary step towards completion of your graduate program is the plan of study (POS). It is a contract between you and your advisor establishing the specific program that you will complete. Once the POS is signed, even if the program changes, you will not be required to make any modifications of your course of study. The window of opportunity for completing a POS is from the time you are admitted (and any conditions of admission are completed) until the semester before you intend to graduate. During this window, it is your responsibility to contact your advisor and request that a POS be completed. Again, please heed this reminder so that you do not delay your graduation.
- As stated above, you must pass the SLLA exam, the state administration licensing exam, before you may graduate. This must be done before the end of the EDFA 695 Internship course. It is your responsibility to register for and complete the exam, sometime, we suggest, early in your final semester of classes, the semester, that is, that you take EDFA 695 Internship. The test bulletin with dates and registration information may be obtained from Virginia in the GSE office.
