COURSE REGISTRATION INFORMATION

In your first semester you should take the appropriate introduction course: Introduction to: School Counseling (CDev 613); Student Personnel (CDev 602); or Community Counseling (CDev 615).

It is important to note that the Introduction courses are only offered during the fall semester – it is important that you register for this class in your first semester.

If you are entering the College Student Personnel program you must also take CDev 610 Life-span Development in the fall semester as it is a perquisite for a course you will take in the spring.

We recommend that our students not take more than 9 credits in their first semester.  You may select additional course work from the remaining CORE I courses:

CDev 610 Life-span Development

CDev 614 Techniques of Counseling

CDev 621 Social and Cultural Diversity

CDev 670 Counseling Theory

More information regarding registering for courses will be provided at a later time.
