Courses by Semester
It
can
be
surprisingly difficult to ascertain exactly which courses are
being offered in the future! This is due to changes in budget,
personnel changes, and last-minute cancellations.
However, there are some tools that can help you predict the future.
First, you should check OASIS. It is the most reliable listing of courses that have been planned one to two semesters in advance. Course listings are available months before registration begins.
Here is another tool:
SLM Advising Notes for the current registration season, and important details about courses most interesting to SLM students.
We consider our Cohort Plan a flexible one. From time to time, students need to work at a different pace than the cohort plan - perhaps one course at a time, or even full time study. Often, students need to "rest" a semester or two for a variety of reasons. Beware that the Graduate School has a continuous enrollment policy (which you can read about on their website), and there are procedures for requesting "leave" for a semester or two.
If you choose to depart from the cohort plan it becomes very important for you to work closely with your advisor to plan your program of study. You will need to work a little harder at managing this than the typical Cohort student. However, it can be done successfully if you are proactive and careful.
Two steps:
1. Study the patterns and course listings provided in these pages. They will help you predict availability of a course. Note that rotation patterns shift from cohort to cohort. Note: we plan a major shift in rotation beginning in Spring 2010.
2. As soon as possible, establish a Program of Study (POS) in partnership with your advisor. This POS must combine all degree requirements and certification requirements. Once approved, this POS protects you from uncertainty. It becomes an agreement between you, us, and the Graduate School, and establishes the exact requirements for your graduation.
