What's the most important thing a graduate student can do to be successful?
READ! Read about being a graduate student. Particularly read Part Two of the Graduate Bulletin, Pages 12-42
in the 2009-2010 edition. These pages inform you about fees, admissions, residency, regulations and the
requirements for doctoral and masters degrees. Refer to the Graduate Bulletin often. Read the emails and signs
on campus. They provide important information and deadlines. The Graduate Bulletin is available in the Aztec
Bookstore and on line at http://coursecat.sdsu.edu/bulletin/.
What is a Red ID Number?
The Red ID Number (a 9-digit number, beginning with the number "8," shown on your admission letter) is the
reference number used to identify you and your student record. If you do not have this number, or have
misplaced it, contact the Registrar's Office (619-594-7800); http://arweb.sdsu.edu/es/registrar/.
What is Classified Admission?
Students admitted with classified standing have met all university and department requirements for admission.
Classified students are fully eligible to proceed with courses for their graduate program of study, and should not
be required to take any prerequisites or meet any additional requirements beyond those listed in the Graduate
Bulletin for all students.
