Please note: We suggest you now begin reviewing the section descriptions and following the instructions (under “How to Contact an Instructor about His/Her Section”) for the section(s) you’re interested in to contact the instructor and see about being cleared to register for a section.


Course Registration Information

  • For those students who register before May 18, 2011
    Students must first contact an instructor whose section’s focus aligns with their own interests. If the instructor agrees that the fit is good, the instructor will clear that student to register. After the instructor has opened his/her section for that student, that student can then register for that section as he/she would normally register for any class.
  • For those students who register from May 18, 2011 to August 1, 2011
    Students who did not register before May 18th must complete a short application in Tk20 entitled “Application to the Educational Research Sequence, EDD 630/631.” This application will only be available between May 18th and August 1st; it will not appear in Tk20 at other times. The application is simple, and serves to notifiy the department of the student’s application. During the third week of August, 2011, the department will place all of the students who submitted applications through Tk20—and who meet the minimal academic requirements for the class—into the various sections of EDD 630. All students who meet the minimal requirements will be placed into sections; however, the department cannot guarantee that a student will be placed into a particular section.

Until the applications are opened, you may want to read about the various, current sections, below, and make sure you meet the minimum requirements for entrance into EDD 630.
