This general scheduling advice is provided to all students:

  • Register at your assigned time; do not wait until the beginning of the semester to sign up for classes.
  • If you need a required course to graduate and it is full, please contact the department chair, Dr. Riane Bolin.
  • Full-time graduate students are required to take CRJU-600 during the fall semester of their initial enrollment and CRJU-670 and CRJU-675 during the spring semester of their initial enrollment.  Part-time students are required to take CRJU-600, CRJU-670, CRJU-671, and CRJU-675 prior to taking other courses during semesters in which these courses are offered.  Departures from this policy must be approved by the Graduate Coordinator.
  • CRJU-670 is a prerequisite to CRJU-671; plan accordingly.
  • CRJU-691 should be taken toward the end of your program.
