Subject: Important Reminder About Spring 2004 Course Scheduling
Greetings to all ed tech graduate students at the University of Delaware!
I am writing to you for two reasons. First, the School of
Education has asked me to remind you to register prior to the advanced
registration deadline of December 5. In the past, many graduate students
have tended to put off registering until the last minute. Doctoral students
in particular have tended to wait until the late registration period to
register for classes. Please turn over a new leaf and begin registering
during the advanced registration period. You can register online at
http://www.udel.edu/registrar/onlinereg/index.html.
Second, there has been a change in the course requirements for the
ed tech master's specialization. EDUC 632 has moved from the required
to the elective section of the course requirements. Whenever a program
requirement changes in this manner, current students in the program
have the option of going by the previous requirement or the new
requirement. Thus, if you have already taken EDUC 632, you may count
it as fulfilling this requirement. If you have any questions about this,
please e-mail me at fth@udel.edu and I will advise you further.
The rest of this message is a revised course selection advisory for Spring 2004.
As always, you should check with your advisor each semester to confirm
that your course selection is in line with your particular program.
This course advisory contains sections for M.Ed.
Students, M.I. Students, and Ed.D. Students, respectively.
