Welcome to 2021! Here’s to hoping that 2021 will be different than 2020.
We’re in the final week before Spring 2021 courses begin on Tuesday, January 19, 2021. This is the last call to register for courses offered by the LDT program. If you’ve not yet registered for Spring courses, please do so immediately.
Remember that students must complete the Pre-Registration Activity Guide every term before being eligible to register for courses in LionPATH. Follow these search criteria in order to search for all of our courses on LionPATH (note that this term we have courses with the LDT and the EDTEC prefixes). And if a course appears full, please add yourself to the official course Wait List on LionPATH (and if you can’t add yourself, contact Dr. Kirby).
At the time of posting, we believe we have accommodated all LDT program students who wish to take courses in Spring 2021. It is critically important that everyone be registered for courses as soon as possible, preferably no later than Monday, January 11, so that we can confirm how to best accommodate everyone.

M.Ed. in LDT Student Reminders
Please register for the SARI Training that will begin on January 20. Learn more about, and sign-up for, the LDT program’s custom required SARI Training here.

If you plan to graduate in May 2021, at the end of the Spring term, please declare your intent to graduate on LionPATH now.
If you’ve not done so yet, those who intend to graduate in May 2021 should contact their advisor to discuss their Capstone Portfolio content and submission timeline.
