ELECTIVE PROCESS
Students are invited to attend a meeting in which faculty have the opportunity to present an elective they'd like to teach. Students also receive copies of the course proposal of each faculty presenter. Students are invited to vote online for the elective(s) of their choice. The elective(s) that receives the most votes for each cohort is then offered as an elective(s) for that semester.
Students are guaranteed a seat in the elective(s) voted on by their cohort during the first three weeks of registration. Students are not required to enroll in the elective(s) voted on by their cohort.
During the first three weeks of registration, students can register only for the elective voted on by their cohort. After the first three weeks of registration, students may register for any of the electives being offered as long as there are seats available. As elective courses are filled, wait lists are created by the Graduate School. Therefore, students are responsible for and encouraged to register each semester in a timely fashion.
Note: The Graduate School cannot guarantee a space in any elective not selected by your cohort. Electives are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
