Once admitted to the School of Education, the applicant is considered a candidate for teacher certification. To remain in good standing and progress through a School of Education program, a candidate admitted to School of Education must maintain throughout the program the same standards as those for admission.
Prior to admission to the School of Education, University probation and dismissal policies apply. Upon admission to the School of Education the following probation policy applies; candidates will be placed on probation when:
In the first semester that a candidate is placed on academic warning, he or she is required to meet with an adviser to develop an Action Plan to return to good standing. Probationary status may include restrictions on the type or number of courses that the candidate will be allowed to register for, and/or referral to the Center for Academic Excellence, or other support centers, for academic skill development. A candidate may also be required to retake courses. At the end of the academic warning period, the candidate must either achieve the academic requirements or show significant academic improvement in order to continue in the School of Education.
If students at the candidate level fail to achieve the required QPA or grades after the academic warning period, they may not continue in the School of Education. Candidates may appeal their dismissal from the School of Education by sending a written appeal to the Associate Dean of the School of Education no later than two weeks from the receipt of written notification of removal from the School of Education. Students may not continue in the School of Education if they fail to meet the academic requirements for more than two semesters (consecutive or nonconsecutive).
Academic advisement concerning programs of study, courses, and relationship of graduate work to career goals is available to all candidates. Upon admission, all candidates are assigned a faculty advisor. It is strongly recommended that candidates meet with their assigned faculty advisor prior to registration. Candidates who progress through the program without the advice of a faculty advisor run the risk of delaying their program completion.
