8 Things Every Graduate Student Needs to Remember

1.  your faculty advisor must sign your course requests to register for
     classes;

2.  regular registration begins March 15 (Summer/Fall courses) and
     October 15 (Spring courses);

3.  delayed registration usually begins 2 weeks before the first day of
     class and during this period  invoices must be claimed in person at
     the Bursar, Hovde Hall;
 
4.  a $50 late fee is added the first day of class for initial registrations;

5.  up to 12 credits taken while in postbaccalaureate status (including
     any undergraduate excess credits), which a grade of B" or better,
     may be considered for use on a plan of study for an advanced degree
     subject to approval by your major professor, committee, department,
     and university);
 
6.  courses must be current, less that 5 years old, to be considered for
     use on a plan of study for an advanced degree (if courses are more
     than 5 years old--please ask your advisor or the SOE Office of
     Graduate Studies for instructions to establish currency of knowledge 
     and to request a waiver);

7.   if you do not register for 12 months, the Registrar deactivates your
      eligibility to register (a new application is needed to restore    
      eligibility to register, please contact the SOE Office of Graduate
      Studies for instructions);
 
8.   if you need additional information, begin by asking your faculty
      advisor to help you (e.g., each faculty member has a personal copy
      of the "Graduate Advising Handbook").
