While at Walton you will work with your program director/advisor to enroll in courses. Unlike undergrad, there is no rush to race for the last open spot! You will have space reserved for the courses you need. Enrollment will first be done during the orientation process and will be handled by your advisor/program director.

Having a student ID unlocks many doors, both figuratively and literally! Your ID will get you access to graduate study rooms, fitness center, sporting events, and much more. You will have an opportunity to get your ID during the orientation process.
