Students Registering for “Block One” Courses – Fall 2015
1. Co-requisites: Since the courses are listed as co-requisites, you will need to register for
your group of block courses at the same time. You can do this on the “Add/Drop” menu
of the registration page at myOswego by typing in each “CRN” (5 digit course
registration number), and then clicking the submission link.
2. EDU 303 Practicum: EDU 303 is part of Block One. This course is listed as a field
placement (or practicum). Students in EDU 303 are placed in a classroom with a
cooperating teacher. Registering for practicum courses like EDU 303 requires two steps:
a. Register for a section of EDU 303 online along with other Block One classes.
b. Attend Field Placement Office “Sign-Ups.” Take a copy of your schedule, your
driver’s license, college ID and a pen to the sign-up meeting. The sign-up usually
takes about 15 minutes to complete.
3. Sign-Ups: The Field Placement Office “sign-up” date will be after the registration period
ends. The date(s) for “sign-up” will be posted online at the Field Placement Office (FPO)
webpage: www.oswego.edu/placement.
You are responsible to complete “sign-up” on the date posted. You will not be provided
with a placement if you have not completed the “sign-up” with the FPO.
4. Drive Time: Field placements may be located an hour away from Oswego. When scheduling
your field placement, be sure to include adequate driving time to and from the placement. A one
credit hour placement is usually 2-3 hours a week.
5. Save the Dates: Students who register for Block One Courses will attend two important
meetings during the Block One semester:
