Multiple Subject Credential Program

Advising

Candidates participate in periodic advising sessions throughout the credential program. Advising meetings are scheduled when the candidate is admitted to the program, midway through each semester, and when the candidate is completing the program. It is the candidate's responsibility to seek help or advice if confused about program requirements or scheduling of courses.

• Orientation / Advising Meeting: When candidates receive their acceptance letter, they are notified of the date for the new student orientation and advising meeting. All candidates must attend this mandatory session. At this meeting there will be vital information about proceeding through the program.
• Advising Sessions: Each semester, advising days will be scheduled for candidates on both the CORE and FLEX paths. Information regarding courses and scheduling will be addressed as well as opportunities for students to discuss their experiences in the program. Advising sessions will be advertised through postings on bulletin boards, announcements during courses, and via email messages to candidates' SSU email addresses.
• Individual Advising: If a candidate has program and/or advising questions that are not answered during the regular advising sessions, he/she should contact either the Multiple Subject Advisor or the Department Chair for an appointment.
• End of Program Meeting: During the last week of the Phase Two semester, there is a meeting for all credential program finishers. This mandatory meeting includes information about filing for the preliminary credential, BTSA involvement (Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment) and how to complete program surveys.
