Class Registration
Visit with the secretary in your program about who your advisor is. The advisor can tell you which classes you need to take and in what order they need to be taken.
Online Class Registration is available at http://www.raiderlink.ttu.edu.
Check here for an updated schedule of classes offered through the Special Education Department.
NOTE: You cannot register for classes until after you have been admitted to Texas Tech University AND the College of Education. See Summary of Steps in the Application Process (above).
Also, be aware that if you have been enrolled at TTU but do not attend either the Fall or Spring semesters, you will need to fill out a Returning Student Form which can be downloaded from the Graduate School website and fax or mail it to the Graduate School for re-enrollment. You only need to pay the enrollment fee the first time you enroll at Texas Tech.
Continuing Professional Education Development
This non-degree category is designed to meet the needs of individuals whose professions require continuing professional educational development. To download the form, go to the Graduate School website >> Admissions >> Download Application Forms and Information >> Continuing Professional Education Development Form
Dropping a Class vs. Withdrawing from TTU
If you want to drop a class, and you will still be enrolled in at least one other class, you can drop the course through http://www.raiderlink.ttu.edu. Please check the drop/withdraw dates on the Academic Calendar before dropping a class -- you may still be responsible for paying full tuition if you do not drop before the last date to add/drop.
You may not drop all your classes on RaiderLink. Dropping all your classes implies you are withdrawing from the university, which must be done in person at the Office of the Registrar or by filling out the withdrawal form on the Registrar's website and either mailing or faxing it in.
