Phase I Registration

1. At the conclusion of the application appointment, students will receive a “Permit to Register” in the Phase I courses.
2. Students must register for the courses in Phase I in person at Plumb Hall because special permission is required.
3. Students must take this “Permit to Register” to Plumb Hall 108 where they will complete registration for the Phase I courses.
4. Students who have not met all entrance requirements at the time of application must enroll provisionally. Students who have not met all requirements and who have not successfully appealed by the start of the semester must withdraw from the Phase I courses.

Other Information

1. All students entering into Phase I must have completed the Health Clearance and have a TB check completed. Staff from the ESU Student Health Services will provide these in the Visser Hall Atrium the first week of class. Students may use their own physician if desired.
2. The Orientation to Secondary Phase I meeting is held the afternoon of the day before classes begin each semester. This orientation is held in Visser Hall 126 at 1:00 pm. All students entering Phase I are required to attend.
3. To be eligible for Phase I, all requirements must be completed, documented, and submitted to Dr. Bland before the Orientation to Phase I meeting.
4. Candidates who will not meet certain requirements before the Orientation meeting must complete an appeal to be considered for admission to Phase I. Not all requirements are appeal-able. Appeals are due to Dr. Bland one week before the Orientation meeting. Late appeals will not be considered.
