Program Planning and Advising Sessions for New Students
Attendance at at least one of these session is required for all new students but they are also open to returning students who have advising questions or need to make adjustments to their program plans. No RSVP is required. All sessions occur during the 5th week of the quarter prior to course registration (see below for time and locations for the academic year). In order to have an assigned faculty advisor, students must attend one program planning session. Prior to attending, all students should become familiar with the Counseling Student Handbook and should bring a draft of their program plan using this guide.
Questions regarding these sessions or advising for new students should be directed as follows:
Community Counseling Students to Dr. Philip Gnilka (pgnilka@depaul.edu) School Counseling Students to Dr. Darrick Tovar-Murray (dtovarmu@depaul.edu)
College Student Development Students to Dr. Rich Whitney (rwhitne5@depaul.edu)

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).
