Congratulations and welcome to Virginia Commonwealth University! We're very excited you're going to be coming to the Counselor Education program. A few things as you begin this exciting journey: 

Here is a list of things you should do immediately.

1. If you need to send transcripts to the Graduate School, you can email them directly at vcu-grad@vcu.edu to inquire about how to get the process started. If the updated transcripts can be sent electronically through the national clearinghouse, you can send it to gradmail@vcu.edu If you plan to send transcripts via mail, the address is:
   
   VCU Graduate Admissions
   408 W. Franklin St
   Box 843051
   Richmond, VA 23284-3051
   
   
2. Go to our website and check out the program information available there. Please review the 2023-2024 M.Ed. Counselor Education Handbook [PDF] to see all of the different tracks/start time course sequences (this is how you know what classes to take, when). These start on page 16.
   
   Faculty STRONGLY advise students who have full-time employment to choose a part-time sequence. Please note that once you choose a sequence, it is important to stay on that sequence. If for some reason you need to adjust your course sequencing, please speak to your faculty advisor BEFORE making any changes.
   
   
3.  Once you have chosen your track and part-time/full-time enrollment, it is time to register! In order to register, you need to have your VCU eID number and VCU email address set-up (see below on how to do that) or check out the next steps in the Accepted Students Checklist (https://www.vcu.edu/admissions/accepted-students/graduate-checklist/). Our program does not require a tuition deposit, so you can skip that step on the checklist. You can register for classes by going here.

All 3 tracks start courses this summer and you should enroll in:

CLED 600: Professional Orientation and Ethical Practice in Counseling (required)
June 26th - July 27th - In person, M/W 4-8:30 pm

CLED 640: Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling  (required)
June 26th - July 27th - In person, T/Tr 4-8:30 pm

***Optional*** 3rd course 

EDUS 660: Research Methods in Education
May 22nd - August 11, ONLINE, asynchronous

- OR -

CLED 612: Wellness Counseling
May 22nd - June 22nd - In person, T/Tr 4-8:30 pm

*If you are unable to register for a course or receive an error that prerequisites are needed for these courses, please add your name to the override list. To request a course override, click here.

For the fall, depending on part-time or full-time status you will take 2 or 4 courses. Part-time should enroll in CLED 601 and CLED 602. Full time students should enroll in CLED 601, CLED 601, CLED 650, and a track speciality course (CLED 641, CLED 620, OR CLED 613)

Again, please see the attached program handbook for the full course sequences for your reference starting on page 16. Please refer to this as your plan for your future courses and stick to the sequence as much as possible. If you are already looking ahead at electives (which don’t typically occur until your second year) you can look across campus at options that may fit your goals and interests (both inside the school of education and in other schools at VCU such as social work, rehab counseling, public policy, or women’s studies).

Angel’s Tip of the Week - Manage your time

Time management is both a skill and a mindset. While in grad school, Google Calendar has become my best friend. To keep track of things, I use the “focus time” feature to schedule time for homework, projects and even self care. Find a time management system that works for you, whether it is a planner or a digital calendar. The key is to have a system in place that allows you to plan ahead and be aware of your schedule.
