Additional resources for current students within the graduate programs are available in this section.  General information and downloadable forms are available throughout this page, as well as in the Department of Education and Human Services.

Advising

Student PIN numbers allow the student to partake in Advanced Registration online, after the first semester of attendance.  Students may obtain their PIN numbers from their respective academic advisors.  Online registration will also help to avoid the delayed process of submitting registration paperwork through the Department of Education and Human Services.  It is important to note that the PIN number is only valid for one semester; new PIN numbers are assigned each semester.  

If you are a current student and have been unable to register for a course you would like to take in the upcoming semester, we recommend that you contact your advisor at 610.519.4620, and request to be added to a wait-list for the specific course.  The Department of Education and Human Services is doing its best to expand classes or add additional sections for the courses that are currently full.  Being placed on the wait-list does not guarantee enrollment into the specific course; however, it will allow the student priority if additional sections are added to the upcoming semester.

Comprehensive Exams

The comprehensive examination covers all work done in the program. These examinations vary some across the programs. For more detailed information about your program's specifications, please view our Comprehensive Exams Program Specific Pages:

Graduation Information

Any student expecting to graduate at the end of the Spring Semester must submit the application for granting of Master's Degree to the Dean's Office, Vassey Hall, Room 201 at the beginning of their final Spring semester. (Please refer to the Graduate Studies Catalog) Although degrees are granted at the end of the Fall and Spring semesters, commencement ceremonies are held only once per year, in May.

If a student completes the application for granting of Master's Degree for a particular semester and then does not actually graduate that semester, the student must fill out another form for the next semester.  The Department of Education and Human Services does not keep these forms from semester to semester.  Students may fill out the application for graduation online; however, the form must be downloaded and submitted to the Graduate Office either by fax or by mail.  You may pick up an application in the Graduate Studies Office or download a copy below:
