Capstone Notice
MPP 619 is required for students pursuing individual capstones. Students who did not take the "Designing and Writing Research Proposals" class who would like to be considered for an individual capstone in the Spring 2021 term must provide a 4-7 page proposal including the following: 1) problem statement (1 page), 2) background and literature review (2-3 pages), 3) methodology (for ALL projects) and data analysis plan (for projects intending to use quantitative analysis) (1-2 pages), 4) potential policy implications of your project (1 page), and 5) appendix (no page limit), containing a detailed breakdown and description of specific research tasks and bibliography. The proposal would need to be submitted directly to the faculty member teaching the individual capstone by December 11. Submission alone does not guarantee admittance to a class.
Eligibility to Register
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. Note: Once a student registers, they have officially enrolled and are committed to attend class(es). Students with holds due to financial obligations should contact the Office of Student Accounts 310.506.4981 prior to registration. Students with holds due to missing documents should contact 310.506.7493.
Financial Responsibility Agreement
In order to register for the upcoming term, all students will need to electronically sign a Financial Responsibility Agreement. An item will be added to each students "To Do List," and a related registration hold applied to the student's record. To remove this hold, students should electronically sign this agreement by logging into WaveNet, go to "Student Center," then to "To Do List" located on the right side of the "Student Center."
Syllabi
Most faculty are still developing their syllabi. For questions about availability, please contact Maurice Derrico.
Wait List Procedure
Students who are wait listed for courses should attend the first class session. If someone drops the class, then the first person on the wait list will be contacted. If the first person on the wait list still wants in the class, they drop the class they plan to replace it with and email Sheryl Covey when completed. They will then be added to the wait listed class. This process continues daily and as spaces become available until the last day of add/drop. A professor may, at his/her discretion, choose to add a student to a particular class outside of usual wait list procedures. In this case, the professor must submit an email providing details and student name or sign an add/drop form which the wait listed student will submit to the Office of the Dean.
