Sections 091 etc. are extension courses taught off campus with restricted enrollment. If you cannot register because you lack a prerequisite or the course is closed, please contact the instructor via email or phone to see if you might be granted permission to register. If the instructor agrees to let you register, (s)he will contact a departmental secretary to perform the required override prior to you registering for the course. The secretary will then email you that the override has been done and that you may then register.

C&I 598:  DOCTORAL INTERNSHIP Instructor varies; there is no syllabus for this course.
Section 001 Ref. No. 723511 for campus students; Section 091 for extension (off campus) students.
Procedure: 1) A student must complete the Doctoral Internship form plus the Health Insurance Certification form and gives them to the doctoral program coordinator; 2) the coordinator gives the signed form to secretary; 3) the coordinator decides whether the student registers for two semesters of 3 semester hours or one semester of 6 semester hours; 4) the secretary does the required override and notifies the student that registration is now possible; and 5) finally student registers for the course. Extension (off campus) students cannot register themselves, but are registered at the request of the secretary. Students wanting to register for the second 3 hours of an internship may contact the secretary directly for the override.

C&I 599 and 599.01:  DISSERTATION RESEARCH Instructor varies; there is no syllabus for this course.
Section 001 Ref. No. 723521 for campus students; Section 091 for extension (off campus) students.
Procedure for 599: Every semester the student must contact the doctoral program coordinator to report progress on their dissertation and obtain approval to register; the coordinator notifies the secretary who does required override; the secretary notifies the student that registration now possible; and finally the student registers for the course. Proposal Approval Form must be completed once while in the program. Students do not have to register for summer unless they are going to defend during that semester. As long as that student registers for fall, they will be able to use university research facilities such as Milner Library during the summer. Extension (off campus) students cannot register themselves, but are registered at the request of the secretary after permission is given from the program coordinator.
Procedure and Information for students who have already taken 15 hours of C&I 599: Students in this situation continue to register for 1 hour of C&I 599 or 599.01 in future semesters. Students wishing to keep their student health insurance, international students and/or graduate assistants must take C&I 599 and must also pay their health insurance premium 15 days before the semester starts. International students and/or graduate assistants also must file the appropriate forms to apply for reduced academic workload in order to keep their assistantship and to keep their VISA valid if applicable.
Procedure for 599.01: If a student has already taken 15 hours of C&I 599, has not yet defended their dissertation, and does not need health insurance through the university, this student should take one hour every semester of C&I 599.01 instead of C&I 599, thus incurring only tuition costs and no fees. This must also have the prior approval by the coordinator, who notifies the secretary, who then initiates the registration. Students themselves cannot register for C&I 599.01. For the initial semester, they are registered at the request of the secretary, and for subsequent semesters they are automatically registered for one hour every semester until they defend their dissertation. This is an audit course so health insurance through the university is not available. International and/or graduate assistants may not take C&I 599.01.
