Advising Team Updates

Registration Edition

Message from The Advising Team!

Hello MSW Students,

 

We hope that Spring Break was a week of relaxation, and rejuvenation! Welcome back! We are in the homestretch of the semester! For those who are not graduating in May, we want to connect again with some reminders and updates.


We know that the Registration process for the upcoming semesters has been quite tricky – and confusing. We want you to know that we have been doing our best to streamline communication, and provide clarity – and that this confusion is not intentional. But, we are sorry. It is necessary for us to follow the lead of the University, which, unfortunately, sometimes doesn’t match up with our MSW programming needs. With all of that being said, here is the latest regarding registration for Summer 2023 and Fall 2023 that we hope will be helpful!


GENERAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION


The system still recognizes 400 level courses as Undergraduate, and therefore, does not let MSW students self-enroll.


For 400 level courses within the school of Social Work, please complete the override form:


Link to the form


For courses (400+) in other departments, please contact the department for permission/enrollment if needed.

If a course indicates that there is a pre-requisite that is not part of your programming (particularly Advanced Standing students), please complete the override form (above). This is another system issue that, unfortunately hasn’t been resolved as of yet.

Your enrollment appointment does NOT mean that you need to make an appointment with your Advisor to enroll in courses.

This only lets you know when you will be allowed to start to self-enroll.

You are guaranteed a seat in the required courses per the program option curriculum -


Link to Curriculums


If there are multiple sections assigned to your program option, these are on a first come, first served basis.

All electives are on a first come, first served basis.

The waitlists are not active, and not utilized. Please do not put your name on the waitlist with the expectation of a seat if/when it comes available.

Summer 2023

The “current courses” document for Summer 2023 is attached in the following link.


Current Courses


This outlines the courses and sections for the various program options and cohorts. Please review CAREFULLY, and only register for sections assigned to your program option/cohort. (For example: Statewide Blended, Part-Time, admitted 2022, East Lansing, Weekend, etc.)

The list of electives offered through the School of SW is also attached. Please make sure to note the details of offering (Summer A, B or full, format (on-line, in-person), etc.)


Link to Summer Electives

Registration for SW courses for Summer 2023 will open April 15.

(Please note: Registration for courses in other departments is open now.)


**Override request forms submitted prior to 4/15 will not be processed. **

FALL 2023

The “current courses” document for Fall 2023 is attached using the link below


Current Courses


This outlines the courses and sections for the various program options and cohorts. Please review CAREFULLY, and only register for sections assigned to your program option/cohort. (For example: Statewide Blended, Part-Time, admitted 2022, East Lansing, Weekend, etc.)

Enrollment by appointment for Fall 2023 starts on March 13.

In checking student records, it appears that most (if not all) MSW students will be able to enroll starting Wednesday 3/15. You can check your appointment date in SIS.

In order to allow for equitable enrollment for the 2023 cohorts, as well as current students,

HALF of the seats for each course will open (starting 3/13).

The other half of the seats will open on 4/15.

Please do NOT put in an override request form for 800 level courses (electives or required).

If you do not get enrolled in those courses before it is filled (between 3/13 and 4/14), plan to self-enroll starting on 4/15.

As always, if you have questions/concerns, please connect with your assigned Advisor. Be sure to include your name, MSU email, cohort information, and specifics of the nature of the email. We are happy to help!
