Return to: Academic Information

The Department of Counseling, Adult and Higher Education offers selected specialized courses developed to meet the needs of the university community.

All instructors will take roll during the first week of classes. A properly registered student has the legal right to a “seat” for a reasonable length of time, defined by the Department of Counseling, Adult and Higher Education as the first class meeting after the university add/drop date. Instructors reserve the right to drop administratively any student who has not attended class during this time period.
