MA Faculty

Regarding course format and text availability:  The Textbook Table represents all course materials available via the bookstore per advance arrangements with lead faculty in the MA program. For curriculum and logistical reasons, required texts are standardized, i.e., not subject to individual preferences among sections of same course. Optional texts provide flexibility, but cannot substitute required texts. Guided independent study (GIS) sections use the same texts as classroom-based and online sections of a course, except as noted in the Textbook Table below. By contrast, individually-designed E-W series courses (course titles vary with same course number) do not have standardized texts.  Texts for individually-designed courses, or those listed as "recommended, bibliography, reference, suggested reading" in the Learning Contract (any course format), may be special-ordered provided that the student makes arrangements with the bookstore in advance. 

A RegisNET account is mandatory for accessing all University computers, technical equipment, library and other resources.  Apply for a RegisNET account at http://insite.regis.edu. Click on RegisNET Account link, located on the left side of page, and fill out application form.  The ITS Department will set up your RegisNET Account within one business day. Your RegisNET remains in effect for as long as you are with Regis. If you have any questions please contact the CPS Service Line at 303-458-7420.
