Advising for Returning Students

Returning Students (who have taken at least 2 quarters of classes) will be assigned a specific advisor by the 2nd week of classes in the Fall quarter. Please contact your assigned advisor first for advising. Issues you can contact your new advisor about include (and are not limited to): thinking about writing a thesis, issues/ideas about looking for an internship site, future career issues/discussions, doctoral study, licensure, approval of an elective for your program of study, resume/letters of interest for various internship sites or jobs. Returning students only need to complete the advising/registration request when there are specific course registration issues (e.g., inability to register for a course, reviewing of your program of study). For CSD, Dr. Rich Whitney is the advisor for returning students and new students (rwhitne5@depaul.edu).

Advising for Interns

Dr. Erin Mason (emason5@depaul.edu) will serve in the role of Professional Practice advisor for all Community and School students who are in their internship phase. Dr. Whitney (rwhitne5@depaul.edu) will continue to be the Professional Practice advisor for all CSD students. Students who are in the professional practice-phase should communicate directly with Drs. Mason or Whitney for issues regarding their internship.
