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.
- The Program Chair and Advisor is Dr. Janet Buckenmeyer, located in Gyte Annex Room X—114 (just down the hall from the GSE Office). She can be contacted by email (buckenme@calumet.purdue.edu) or by phone (219-989-2692).
- 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, contact 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. Successful applicants for the IT Program must start a DRAFT Plan of Study to be reviewed with the IT Advisor upon acceptance into the program.
- As stated above, you must complete the Portfolio and EDCI 573 Instructional Development Practicum prior to graduation. EDCI 573 is the last course to be taken.
- In other parts of this handbook, you will find information about the portfolio and the internship with field experiences. Please pay careful attention to the details of completion of both of these most important parts of your administration program so that you do not delay your graduation and licensure.
