IMPORTANT: NYS Required Workshop, Health & Safety

  By Jen Schleber (fka, Davis-Duerr) • November 6, 2019

Please check your progress report for the Health & Safety Workshop. Students who began their graduate program within or after Summer 2018 are REQUIRED by New York State to have this (and all other state required workshops) on their New Paltz transcripts in order to graduate.

If you do NOT have the Health & Safety Workshop completed, you MUST register for EDI095 in a Fall or Spring semester. (This is NOT offered in winter or summer.) This is 0-credit online “course” that you must complete to satisfy the state requirement.

Again, candidates who do not have this completed and on their NP record will NOT be able to graduate.

Welcome to your Fall 2019 semester!

  By Jen Schleber (fka, Davis-Duerr) • August 21, 2019

Image result for welcome

The SUNY New Paltz Literacy team is gearing up for a great semester with you all!

Please check your New Paltz email and Blackboard for announcements and requirements for the first week of classes. For those of you just beginning your graduate program, remember that hybrid courses meet face-to-face every other week, so you’ll need to check your syllabi to see which class you are attending on campus, what you need to bring/prepare for class, and what you will need to complete for the online components of your course(s).

In addition, we are seeking two Graduate Assistants for this academic year. Please see details in the previous post for additional information and contact Dr. Duerr (duerrj@newpaltz.edu) if you’re interested.

New to the Literacy Program? Please Attend an Orientation & Advising Session!

  By Jen Schleber (fka, Davis-Duerr) • February 25, 2019

If you were recently accepted to the SUNY New Paltz Literacy program, welcome! 🙂

Your first step is to receive an orientation to the program and develop your Plan of Study. The Literacy team is offering two options within the next two weeks:

Wed. 2/27 4:30-5:30pm

Thurs. 3/7 4:30-5:30pm

Please respond to the GoogleForm here to register for one of these two sessions or to confirm that you will schedule a meeting with your advisor for orientation and advising.

Note: In order to be guaranteed the courses and schedule you desire, you must have a Plan of Study on file and pay $100 deposit by Mon. March 11th. Please make an effort to attend one of the group orientation and advising sessions provided as scheduling an individual session with an advisor may result in missing this deadline.
