Registration Information - Winter 2008

Continuing Students. Continuing students register for classes on the Web through their Campus Connection accounts. Before attempting to register, please note the following:

• Students must use specially-assigned User IDs
• Social Security numbers are not valid for student identification
• A password valid used with the User ID enables entry to the system
• A special five-digit course code is used for specifying course selections; identifying courses by course number, department number, and section number is not used in registration

Continuing students who do not have a User ID or password should contact the Liberal Arts and Sciences Graduate Office (773 325-7315).

The class schedule in Campus Connect lists the five-digit codes that you must use. Students wishing to enroll in independent studies, internships, or thesis projects must contact Mrs. Flood, assistant director of graduate programs, at (773) 325-4635.

Newly Admitted Students. Students who are registering for the first time including new and recently re-admitted students—may not register until they have activated their Campus Connection accounts. The Graduate Office mails out packets containing instructions, which will guide you through the process of activating your account, registering for courses on the Web, and obtaining your DePaul student ID card. If you did not receive this packet, contact Mrs. Flood, assistant director of graduate programs at (773) 325-4635.

The 2008 Winter Quarter class schedule lists your course selections. New students are not eligible to enroll in independent studies or internships.

All Students. The graduate Bulletin describes the degree requirements for both the English and Writing programs. The information in the Bulletin and on your program Web page gives you what you need to know about course selection.

As a general rule, it is better to satisfy core and distribution requirements before taking too many electives. Many classes, particularly specialized "Topics" courses but also some classes that serve core requirements, are offered on a two-year rotating cycle; students should take them when they are offered, especially at Naperville, where the curriculum is more limited. Some courses have prerequisites or require instructor permission to register. Finally, if you have questions about your individual program requirements, by all means get in touch with Mrs. Flood.
