All MPA classes have an “advisement flag” which requires the permission of the MPA Graduate Coordinator before a student can enroll in a class. To receive permission to enroll in classes a student needs to complete the course approval form and email it to both mpa@ualr.edu and cshiett@ualr.edu. To complete the advisement form, students should consult the course schedule for the semester and gather the requisite information, i.e. Course number (PADM 7301), Course Name (Profession of Public Administration), and the Course Reference Number (CRN). This information will be used on the form.
When the form is received by the MPA Graduate Coordinator, the student’s transcript is examined for progress in the program and to ascertain if the requested courses are appropriate for the student’s program of study. The student is notified by e-mail that the “advisement flag” has been removed, and then the student can complete the enrollment process in BOSS. If there are any questions and/or changes, the student is notified electronically or via phone.
