OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATIONStudents are often in a quandary about where to submit forms, whom to ask about certain matters, etc. This section will help clear up those issues. Flow Chart “Nuts and Bolts” Coursework, Advisement, Program of StudyQuestions involving coursework, program of study, etc., (i.e., advisement issues) should be addressed to the Director or the student’s advisor/committee chair (the Director serves as a student’s temporary advisor until the student decides upon a permanent one). A student’s advisor is the same person as the chair of his/her Professional Project committee, i.e., someone who has professional interests similar to the student’s. For questions about a specific course (prerequisites, what’s covered, etc.) it is best to contact the course instructor (some instructors may have their course syllabi online – check the department’s home page). Courses evolve over time, so the best source of information is the instructor. All main campus UNM course descriptions, including prerequisites, are in the University Catalog, which is online at www.unm.edu/~unmreg/ (click on “University Catalog”). Semester schedules are also at the same URL (click on “Schedule of Classes”). School of Law courses and schedules are at lawschool.unm.edu/courses/. Note that School of Law classes may have different start/end dates than classes on the Main Campus Professional ProjectQuestions involving the Professional Project, the Professional Project report, and Professional Project defense should be directed to the chair of the student’s Professional Project committee. The time/date of the Professional Project defense is something the student and his/her committee agree upon. Once the time and date are set, ask the WRP Office to schedule a room and prepare the proper form. Students are encouraged to examine previous Professional Projects. All projects since 1999 are part of the Zimmerman library collection. Projects since 2005 are available electronically at Forms-R-UsThere are a number of UNM forms that must be submitted on time. All such forms are submitted to OGS through the WRP Office. If an advisor or committee chair’s signature is required on the form and it is someone other than the Director, please obtain the signature(s) before submitting it to the WRP Office. Please note that the WRP Office needs to get OGS forms at least four working days (sooner if possible) before they are due to OGS the forms are checked for accuracy before securing the Director’s signature. If the WRP Office receives a form any later, the student runs the risk that the Director will not be around to sign it or that there will not be time to check it, in which case it will not be submitted on time. The upshot: submit forms as early as possible. Staying Enrolled after Completing Coursework, ReadmissionAfter completing all of their coursework students are strongly encouraged to continue to enroll for at least 1 credit of classes to retain their UNM privileges (e-mail, library access, etc.) and prevent disenrollment. The most expedient strategy is to register for at least one credit of Professional Project (WR 598) each semester. However, only 3 credits of WR 598 will count towards the degree. Students must also be registered for at least one credit of WR 598 during the semester in which they complete their degree requirements Students who have not been enrolled for three or more consecutive semesters may be disenrolled from UNM by OGS. To apply for readmission (Fall, Spring or Summer semesters) visit http://www.unm.edu/~grad/admissions/admitcrit.html#Anchor-Readmissio-44968. An application fee must be paid. Readmission is not automatic. Deferral of Admission Other Stuff – Graduate Units, Catalog, and MWR degrees, etc. Computer Lab and Other Resources Please note that WRP computers are for the use of WRP students, faculty and staff; friends and relatives are not permitted to use them. Please lock the doors and arm the alarm system when you leave. Next door to the Computer Lab is a student workroom (room 1040) with a microwave oven, coffeemaker, refrigerator, couch and desks. The WRP has also equipment that may be checked out for student work. Items include: a Kodak digital camera, altimeter, GPS units, a rangefinder, a clinometer, tape measures, etc. Building Access - Keys Lockers E-mail Transfer Courses and Courses Taken in Non-Degree Status A maximum of 12 graduate credit hours taken in non-degree status at UNM may count towards the student’s program. Graduate courses taken at another accredited institution may count for up to 50% (18 credits) of the MWR course work. These courses must be approved by the WRP. Each course to be transfer or non-degree course, whether taken at UNM or elsewhere, must have a grade no lower than B. 7-Year Rule Incomplete Grades (“I”) |
