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.
