Academic and Career Counseling Services

Individuals who are considering applying for the program should contact the career services office for general information.

Libraries

The Pepperdine community is served by four libraries and a small reference collection at the Encino Graduate Campus, as well as the School of Law Library on the Malibu campus.

All circulating items in the Pepperdine libraries are available to all students and alumni and may be requested through the catalog for pickup at Malibu or at graduate campuses. For current Pepperdine students, a variety of electronic information, including journal articles, books, dissertations, and reference items, is available online. Reference librarians are available for research assistance during posted hours at Payson Library, Drescher Graduate Campus Library, West Los Angeles Graduate Campus Library, and Irvine Graduate Campus Library. An e-mail and chat reference service, Ask-A-Librarian, is also available through the University libraries' Web site.

An official registration period is scheduled prior to the opening of each semester. Students will register online. Students are eligible to register if they are academically and financially in good standing. Students who have not submitted official transcripts will be unable to register until the transcripts are received by the Office of Admission. Students with holds due to financial obligations should contact the Office of Student Accounts 310.506.4981 prior to registration. Students who register after the official registration period may be charged a late registration fee. Students who do not complete registration properly are not considered officially enrolled and will be denied all credit for the semester. When students register, they have officially enrolled and are committed to attend classes.

Students should follow the instructions and dates provided for successful enrollment.
