MST Program
When candidates begin their program of study, the Director of Academic Advisement assigns a faculty advisor and provides them with a curriculum sheet indicating the required courses for their chosen program of study. Candidates in the teacher education programs are assigned advisors who are members of the teacher education faculty. Candidates in the initial baccalaureate Adolescence Education Programs are also assigned a second advisor who specializes in the area of their liberal arts major. Advisors' names, office locations, and office hours are posted on the bulletin board outside the Academic Advisement Office in Spellman Hall.

Advisement Guidelines

Each semester, approximately two weeks before the dates set for registration, candidates must meet with their assigned advisors to discuss their progress in the teacher education program and to plan their course of study for the coming semester.

  • Make an Appointment with Your Assigned Advisor.
    Candidates are responsible for making appointments with their advisors as soon as they receive their registration packets in the mail and well in advance of the date for registration. Most advisors post appointment sign-up sheets on their office doors.
  • Plan a Tentative Schedule of Courses.
    Prior to the appointment with the advisor, candidates should work out a tentative schedule of courses. The curriculum sheet for their program of study, information about course prerequisites in the College Catalog, and the information in Chapter V of this manual, will assist candidates in planning a tentative schedule.
  • Meet with Your Advisor
    Candidates must bring three things to their appointment: their teacher education folder from the teacher education office, their registration packet, and their tentative schedule. Candidates should arrive promptly for their appointment and have the required materials ready. During this meeting, the advisor will also review the candidate's progress in meeting the requirements of the teacher education program.
  • Follow Through
    Although advisors will remind candidates about program requirements, it is the candidate's responsibility to know what the requirements are, to meet those requirements and to keep the teacher education folder up-to-date.
