Hell again,

We apologize in advance for the registration problems for Fall 2021 because they are not over!

Literacy is working with Records and Reg to figure out how to overcome a problem in the system that is preventing literacy folks from registering.

So, please just hold off on trying to register until you hear from us again.

DO NOT WORRY! You will get in registered for Fall 2021! Everyone will get where they need to be as soon as we figure out a solution (and there is always a solution).

We will post an update as soon as possible. Please do not hesitate to e-mail Dr. Hop (hopenwac@newpaltz.edu) if it will make you feel better!

PLEASE note the CHANGE in procedure to register for Fall 2021!

Due to new requirements from the university, students must review and agree to the Financial Responsibility Statement before they register.  Click here for more information.

This means that you must register yourself for Fall 2021.

Additionally, you MUST register for the following sections of needed courses. 

• LED 512 Children’s and YA LIT, CRN 1341, WED
• LED 528 Lit and Lang Learners, CRN 1340, WED
• LED 753 Workshop in Understanding Literacy Difficulties, CRN 1346, TUES
• LED 754 Workshop in Diagnosing Literacy Difficulties, CRN 1344, TUES

Anyone registering for another section of the above courses will be moved into these sections.

Thank you for your prompt action on registering for Fall courses. The Literacy team apologizes for any confusion this change creates. Please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Hop (hopenwac@newpaltz.edu) with questions! 

There are now two diversity classes to choose from this summer:

EDS549 is appropriate for B-6 and 5-12 even though the description says “secondary”. This course does count for BOTH programs as the diversity requirement.

1. Fall 2021: Fill out this Google Form  for Fall 2021. Your responses are due TODAY, April 9.
2. Registration for Summer 2021 starts on Monday, April 12. Please register promptly! You can see summer class info HERE.

Hello Literacy Leaders! Registration for Summer and Fall 2021 begins on April 12. Please read these directions carefully to help you prepare.

3. Fall 2021: Fill out this Google Form  for Fall 2021. After you complete this form, you will be manually registered for Spring 2021. You do not need to take any further action (in other words, you do not need to register on your own through mynewpaltz). Please complete the form by April 9.

Hi friends,

We don’t have Spring Break this semester, but we do get three Mind, Body, and Spirit Days. The first one is tomorrow, Feb 23. Please schedule some time to focus on your personal well-being tomorrow! You are important to us here in the Literacy Program. We support you as a student and as a human being. Times have been tough for awhile. But hang in there! We will get through this together.

with love, The Literacy Faculty
