Fall 2024 Course Registration

Fall Course Registration opens for new graduate students on August 1st at 10am!

  • What to know:

    • Make sure there are no holds on your account. If you have holds, those must be resolved with the respective department. We can’t remove any holds for you!

    • Have all courses ready in your shopping cart so you can click enroll when the clock strikes 10am.

    • If a course is full, do not use the MySlice waitlist. Fill out our department waitlist in our LinkTree here or email Makayla Newvine for the link.

      • The waitlist is a first come first serve basis after 10am. You will not be considered if you fill out the survey before registration opens.

Drop-In Advising Hours

Emily Alber Chase will be holding drop-in advising office hours on July 30th & July 31st from 1PM-3PM.

This time is used for any students to drop-in with quick advising questions about your fall term schedule. To ensure everyone can have a chance to meet and ask their questions, please keep your time under 10 minutes.

 

MPA Program Office Hours

Prof. Saba Siddiki will hold an MPA Program Office Hours session on Friday, August 2nd from 12:00-1:00pm in the Center for Policy Research Collaboratory (426 Eggers Hall).

Office Hours sessions are informal sessions, in which students can drop in to discuss coursework, professional development, or anything else about their experience in the program that they would like to share.

While Office Hours sessions are held once per month, Prof. Siddiki is also available to meet with students outside of these scheduled sessions by appointment.
