Congratulations on your
decision to pursue your Master’s degree with You may find it
challenging initially to balance your responsibilities at work, home, and
school. However, as you get into your
program and develop a plan to coordinate your studies with your other
responsibilities, it will get easier.
Also, you may have additional questions about the program or your
program plan of study. As Academic
Advisor, I am available each week at Please refer to the next
page for general information that you may find useful as you begin your
program. Come by to see me if I can
help you in any way. Dr. Sue

Advisor Registration: Registration information usually begins at
least by the seventh week of each term.
You are encouraged to come in to the office as soon as possible to
enroll, or you may enroll online at www.webster.edu. You should order your books as soon as
possible after you enroll so you can properly prepare for your initial class
meeting the next term. Be sure to use
the ISBN number when ordering to insure you get the correct edition. Professional Faculty: We actively seek faculty who are practicing
professionals in their field. This
provides a blend of theory and application that our students appreciate. Many of our faculty have been with us for a
long time. However, we continue to
monitor our program to insure that you are always getting a high-quality
graduate program. We welcome informal
student feedback, and we conduct occasional formal faculty evaluations to get
your feedback. Library Resources: Extensive resources are available through
the Webster Library home page on the Internet (www.library.webster.edu). Although you may often surf the Internet,
you are encouraged to use the Webster Library Passports access to insure that
you are accessing academically sound sources.
Also, other library services are available through the Library
site. Your Class Absences: We realize that as working professionals
you may occasionally have conflicts that prevent class attendance. However,
it is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor and get
the special assignments required for missed classes. Legitimate absences should not adversely
affect your grade if you satisfactorily complete the special assignments and
stay current with your class preparation. Plagiarism: We expect our students to do their own work
and properly document any specific facts, ideas, etc. obtained from other
sources and used in Webster papers. Plagiarism in many university programs
has greatly increased with the ready access to material on the Internet. Although we believe most of our students
would not resort to plagiarism, we do take steps to try to insure that does
not occur. The penalty for plagiarism
is an F in the class and possible dismissal from the program. Grades:
Our faculty are expected to communicate clearly at the beginning of
each term their grading policies and general performance standards. They are to record the grade a student
earns based on those policies and standards.
As a graduate student, you are expected to be familiar with the
requirements in each class as well as the grading and retention policies in
