Hello Education Students,

Please register for Spring I and Spring II courses via the Student Portal. Directions for Web Registration are attached to this email. The Spring 2011 Course Schedule is available on the Education blog.

If the system will not allow you to register for research courses due to prerequisites, please fax a completed add/drop form to the registrar 770.407.1110 or the Education Department 770.671.0476 ATTN: SPRING Registration.

New students should contact Teshia Sims 770.407.1080 or Laura Lumpkin 770.407.1107 with registration questions.

If you are unsure of what you courses you need, please check your program requirements sheet (available here on the Ed. Blog and the 4th floor as well.) You may need to speak with your Academic Advisor. Please check the Academic Advisor List and contact them to make an appointment.

Online registration ends on 12/31/2010 at 11:59 pm

Please familiarize yourself with the Education Blog and all that it offers! Most of the questions posed to the department can be answered with a few minutes spent on the blog.

Thank you and have an excellent Spring Semester!

Attention Masters Degree Students:

A new program will be introduced Fall 2010. This program is a MAEd in Higher and Post-Secondary Education. If you are just beginning your masters program and are interested in higher & post-secondary education, it may be a good idea to review this new program. If you are new to your program, it may be an opportunity to compare your program to the new MAEd HPE to see if it peaks your interest. If you are further along in your program, there are some courses which you have taken that may be substituted for courses in the new program. Any consideration for changes must be accompanied by a meeting with the Program Chair (Dr. Marion Anders 770.407.1082 / manders@argosy.edu) or the director of the Higher Education Program (Dr. Waltrina Dufor 770.407.1149 / wdufor@argosy.edu.)

The Program of Study sheet is available here.

ATTENTION: All Current Dissertation, Cohort (Putnam Co.), and Students Awaiting Ed.D Comprehensive Exam Scores ONLY

I will begin registering all currently enrolled Dissertation & Cohort (Putnam Co.) students for the Fall semester Monday, June 21st. This means:


1. Dissertation & Cohort ( Putnam Co.) students will automatically be registered by the Education Department( If you do not want to be registered for the Fall semester a “Temporary Withdrawal” form must be completed and submitted to the Education Department before the semester begins, September 7, 2010). This form can be located at www.gspp.edu ; username: gspp; password: wonderful; click on Student Services and select form from drop down tab.

*Please, Please, Please remember to utilize your student portal to see if you are registered*. I ask that you be patient with the registration process due to the vast number of students who must be registered. The goal is to have everyone registered as quickly as possible. If for some reason there is an issue with your registration, you will be notified via your Argosy student email.


*If you are either scheduled to take the Comprehensive Exam ,awaiting your comp results or currently enrolled in Writing for Research, you are not considered a dissertation student and will not be registered for dissertation until you have Successfully passed Comps and Writing for Research. Upon receiving notification from Samantha that you have passed both Comps & WFR, I will contact you regarding your next steps toward the dissertation process.
