The Office of Graduate Admissions and Student Services (135 E. 22nd Street, 10th flr.) manages enrollments for all graduate programs for the School from marketing the programs through alumni affairs. All prospective students interested in the Master of Public Administration (MPA), the Masters of Education in Higher Education Administration (MSEdHEA), the Masters of Education in Educational Administration and Supervision (MSEdSAS) or an educational certificate program should be referred to this office.
Initial advisement for incoming students occurs at Orientation, where they also register for classes. Students are immediately assigned a staff advisor, the person who will work with the students to insure smooth progress through the program. The staff advisor assists with registration issues, the appeals process, transferring classes, etc. In addition, all incoming students are assigned a faculty advisor within the first month of classes. The students meet with their faculty advisor preferably in their first semester and absolutely before they have completed 12 credits of coursework. Students complete a Program Plan with their faculty advisor, indicating their specialization and the electives they are most interested in taking.
Students with unresolved issues relating to the academic and scholastic requirements of their programs may need to appeal to the Graduate Committee on Academic Standing. The Office of Admissions & Student Services advises students about their appeals and coordinates the appeals process.
