Welcome to the Fall Semester!

My name is Ty Hollett and I am the current Professor in Charge of the LD Program.

This is just a quick post to welcome you and to remind you about the requirements for the LDT ME.d degree. If you have any questions about these requirements, please feel free to contact me! We hope you have a wonderful semester.

For Masters Students: Completion of the Degree

You will complete the M.Ed. in LDT degree when all of the following have been certified by the program coordinator:

1. Completion of 30 credits (10 courses) of coursework

1. 1. LDT 415A, LDT 467, and LDT 527 are required
   2. No more than four total 400-level courses may be counted toward the degree
   3. 18+ credits completed in courses at the 500- or 800-level
   4. Cumulative GPA as a graduate student of 3.00 or higher 
2. SARI Training Requirement: See information about SARI requirements here. 
3. Capstone Portfolio

1. 1. The Capstone Portfolio will be supervised by your assigned faculty academic advisor and completed near the end of your coursework in the M.Ed. in LDT degree program. See the Documents page for current guidelines.

4. Intent to Graduate

1. 1. At the beginning of the term when you intend to graduate you must notify the university in LionPATH of your intent to graduate. This initiates the comprehensive review process that ultimately certifies that all requirements have been satisfied and that your degree may be conferred at the end of the term.
   2. If you are planning to graduate in the summer: Remember to notify your advisor early, as many faculty are not around during summer and may require that capstones be finished early. So please check-in with your advisor and devise a shared plan.
