Student Handbook
The student handbook is designed to provide you with all necessary information about the department, the SAHE program, its policies, curriculum requirements, and other pertinent data that will be useful as you pursue your degree.
Summer and Fall Registration
Registration is handled online using MyIUP. Students will need their Banner ID (the number appearing on the I-Card beginning with the @ symbol), normal Banner PIN, and an Alternate PIN that is assigned for each Fall and Spring term (note the exception to this for Summer Registration, described below). Current students obtain their Alternate PINs from their advisor. New students admitted for the next Summer/Fall will receive their Banner PIN and Banner ID in their acceptance packet from the School of Graduate Studies and Research and their Alternate PIN from SAHE with orientation information.
New First-Year Students: Summer Registration
Entering students should discuss their plans with the SAHE chairperson or their advisor, as those initial decisions will affect course-taking patterns throughout the program. Summer school courses for new students begin in the second Summer session (usually early July). Summer registration doesn't require the Alternate PIN, but, if students have not received information from the SGSR about registration, they will need to contact the SAHE chairperson. If you applied for Fall admission but wish to begin in the Summer, contact the School of Graduate Studies and Research to change your start term (graduate-admissions@iup.edu).
New First-Year Students: Fall Registration
Registration for Fall will be conducted for all new students during the Summer, upon notification from the department chairperson. Registration for this term must be delayed until then so the program can balance section enrollments and arrange convenient schedules of the students who will commute to IUP for classes from other assistantship sites. Until then, the required first-year courses will not appear on the SAHE schedule due to their “closed” status.

Department Scholarships
Nancy Newkerk Scholarship
The Nancy Newkerk Scholarship honors an outstanding, retired IUP student affairs educator and is awarded to a SAHE student upon completion of their first academic year in the program.
The recipient will be selected by the SAHE faculty upon consideration of the submitted application, two letters of support from higher education administrators (preferably student affairs educators) with whom the student worked during their first year of the program, a resume, and a self-statement. To be eligible, students must be in good academic standing.
Get Involved! SAHE Student Leadership Award
Tom Baker ('05) has initiated the Get Involved! SAHE Student Leadership Award, to be presented annually to one first-year SAHE student. The student must be enrolled full-time in the SAHE program and be in their first year within the program. The selection committee will be looking for nominees who have a sincere interest in bettering the SAHE community, who are making a difference in the campus where they work, and who have made a positive difference through involvement outside of work.
Annual Award: $250 for books and also a Get Involved! SAHE Student Leadership Award plaque.
