Program of Study – Contact your academic adviser to discuss your program of study, then complete and submit the Program of Study (M-1) form.

Course numbers and titles must match exactly to what is listed on your transcripts. If you are not sure what course work you have taken, please contact the Special Education Department to have a courtesy copy of your transcripts sent to you. Your M-1 form must be completed and submitted by the end of the second semester. Mail or fax the completed and signed M-1 form to:
