Being Prepared
A student’s success in this program is partially based on his or her ability to use technology. If at any time a student finds him or herself lost or with questions, try one of the following options:
Course Availability (for Distance Learning and Electives)
It is the student’s responsibility to work with an Academic Advisor to verify the availability of a course and to make scheduling adjustments if he or she finds he or she must take the course during a particular trimester to continue on a path to completion.
Course Schedules
It is the student’s responsibility to check the syllabus for due dates for assignments or dates for examinations. If an online course is self-paced (accelerated), a student may complete assignments as he or she is ready. However, the student will be provided with a time frame or due date for completion of the course. It is the student’s responsibility to check the syllabus (and confer with faculty) for complete information on schedules, assignments, and due dates.
Registering for Coursework Online
To register, a student must sign into his or her myUSA portal account, click on the Student Services tab, then Registrar and select the Post Professional Registration link located on the left menu column.
If a student is registering for a seminar or certification they should call the Continuing Education Office at 1-800-241-1027, ext. 1400.
Reinstatement
Students that voluntarily withdraw from the program in good standing may be reinstated into the program. These students will be permitted to bypass the normal application process and submit a one-page re-admittance application if it has been no more than 1 year since withdrawal from the program. Any student seeking reacceptance after the 1-year period must follow the normal application process.
