Entering Graduate Students
Temporary Academic Advisor
Each incoming student will be assigned a temporary academic advisor by the DEO of the department prior to the first registration. The temporary advisor will be responsible for helping the student select courses for the first term in residence and to decide on the composition of the doctoral committee.
New Student Oriention/Course Registration
Incoming students are required to attend the New Student Orientation. You will meet with your advisor, as well as meet your fellow graduate students and the rest of the faculty in residence. Details on how to register on ISIS, the University's web-based course records system, and what classes to register for will be discussed at that time.
Teaching Assistant Orientation
All graduate students who will be teaching courses in Communication Studies during the upcoming academic year are REQUIRED to attend the TA training sessions, held that same week.
