The directors and staff of the graduate programs are available to assist students in course selection and degree planning. All graduate education students accepted into a program of study are assigned an education department faculty member as their academic advisor.

Advising is available in person in Emmitsburg or Frederick, over the phone, or via email.

Students are urged to contact their advisor as needed prior to registration for classes.

Students have five years to complete their graduate program once they have been advanced to candidacy. If necessary, students in consultation with their advisor may petition the program director in writing for an extension.
