Advisement

Students who have filed an official planned program

Graduate students who have filed an official planned program of study with their advisor that was then submitted to the School of Graduate Studies are not required to see their advisor provided the official planned program was filed and approved before March 1, 2008.  Furthermore, they do not need an Alternate PIN Number.

Check your registration status to confirm that you do not have any health or financial holds on your record.  Health and financial holds will block you from registering.  You can check your registration status by logging in to CentralPipeline (Click on the Student tab, then click "Registration, Add/Drop Classes", then "Check your registration status".)

Students who have not yet filed an official planned program

Graduate students who have not yet filed a planned program of study by March 24 must follow these steps.

1. You must see your advisor during the academic advisement period from Monday, March 24 through Friday, April 4.  Please make sure you make your course selections for the Fall as well as complete and submit an official planned program of study during your meeting.  (Graduate policy state that the Planned Program must be submitted no later than having earned 16 credits but the sooner this is filed the better protection graduate students have for any changes made to the program.)
    

2. It will be necessary to obtain an Alternate PIN Number from your advisor before you will be allowed to register.  Please note that the Alternate PIN Number will only be available from your department advisors.  New Alternate PIN Numbers are assigned each semester.  Those provided for last Spring 2008 registration will not work for this Fall 2008 semester.  (Note also, that the registrar will not turn off the Alternate PIN Number requirement.  Thus, students with no Planned Programs who wait to register late or after the Spring semester may encounter delays if faculty advisors are not available to assist them.)

Prior to meeting with your academic advisor it may be helpful to complete the following tasks:

• Bring an unofficial planned program sheet with you.  If you do not have one, please get one from your department or from the Graduate Office, Barnard 102.
   

• Print a copy of your unofficial transcript from CentralPipeline.
   

• Update your academic progress in the appropriate spaces on your unofficial planned program sheet.
   

• Form initial decisions about the courses you would like to take for the Fall 2008 semester.

Check your registration status to confirm that you do not have any health or financial holds on your record.  Health and financial holds will block you from registering.  You can check your registration status by logging in to CentralPipeline (Click on the Student tab, then click "Registration, Add/Drop Classes", then "Check your registration status".)
