attempts to successfully complete the comprehensive exam. Thereafter, if
unsuccessful, the student will be academically dismissed.

Course Registration
HRD program offers two eight-week sessions per fall and spring semesters and
early registration is recommended for all courses as class sizes are limited. Some
classes may be cancelled up to 48 hours prior if there is insufficient enrollment,
particularly during the winter and summer sessions. Candidates accepted into
the program are encouraged to register simultaneously in courses offered in
both eight-week sessions. Candidates (admitted without conditions) may take
up to 4 courses per semester. A sample calendar of course selections is provided
