		Registration Memo from the Program's Director October 17, 2008 Dear Literacy student, Registration for the Spring 2009 semester will begin on Monday, November 17 and continue through Friday, December 19th. It is best to call for an appointment although you may walk in. Scheduled appointments will take precedence over walk ins. The last appointment is at 5: 00 PM. The schedules for Manhattan, Brooklyn and online classes are attached. Please keep in mind the following when registering: Any outstanding balances from the previous semester must be paid before you will be permitted to register. Tuition is $1150 per three credits. Students are permitted to register for no more than 12 credits in Spring. You must pay at least 35% of your total bill at the time of registration If you know in advance that you have a social event such as a wedding, vacation, etc. which conflicts with a class, do not register for the class. Students have been disappointed when they did so with the expectation that they could miss several classes and then submit a make up assignment. This is not the policy of the Literacy department. If you become ill or some other misfortune occurs and you miss more than two classes you should drop the class. Submission of a note from a doctor will not be a rationale to continue the class. It is merely an explanation of why you missed the class. Register early for online classes as they fill up quickly. The first 15 spaces for 602, 677, 618 and 606 are reserved for NYSUT students. NYSUT students must complete the first eighteen credits with NYSUT before they can take online courses. If they attempt to register without having finished the first eighteen credits they will be rejected. All students taking online courses must fill out a registration form for the online classes including NYSUT students otherwise they are not considered to be registered. There is a maximum of 25 students per class so metro area students are allowed the remaining ten spaces. Although 665, 667, 620 and 650 are offered by other departments, literacy students must take these courses through the literacy department. Absolutely no exceptions will be made. Students should familiarize themselves with the Policies and Procedures section of the Touro College catalogue so they are aware of requirements, policies and expectations for graduate students. Please note there is only one Spring session. However, Summer session will begin earlier (June) and will offer students a more flexible schedule. Absolutely no drops or adds over the phone will be permitted. Students must send an email requesting an add or drop and should be aware that refunds are based on how early in the semester the class is dropped. Yours truly, Elaine Nikolakakos Chair, Master of Teaching Literacy Program
