Student Support Services
All Reading/Literacy program students are advised by the Program Coordinator. The
program coordinator reviews program applications and works with the Graduate Admissions
Analyst to admit students. After admission, the program coordinator ensures students
receive the necessary information to enroll in the required courses, send reminders
about important deadlines, review and approve Advancements to Candidacy, and review
and approve applications for graduation.
Reading/Language Arts program Canvas page includes information for all students in
all Reading/Literacy programs at Fresno State. This includes the Reading/Literacy
Added Authorization, Reading/Literacy Leadership Specialist Credential, and Reading/Language
Arts MA in Education programs. Students can access this site at any time and find
links to important program and university information. This site is maintained by
the program coordinator. The program coordinator also sends out periodic updates for
students such as registering for courses, important deadlines, and scholarship opportunities.
