In year III, students have a required field component in a band school on a reserve. Academic regulations follow those of the University of Regina, with some specific guidelines established by the Department of Indian Education. Students enter the program through general admission to the University with either high school graduation or the University Entrance Program. For the first two years of the program, students have the option to extend courses over the Spring and Summer sessions, reducing by one the number of courses taken each semester. Students are required to plan their programs in consultation with assigned faculty advisors.
Approved courses are to be supportive of the role of classroom teachers.
This Education course component may be exchanged with other electives from semester 4 or 8, provided that the prerequisites for the particular course have been met. Only 1 Special Education course beyond EPSY 322 may be selected as an Education elective for credit in the Elementary Program. Every program must include a minimum of 124 credit hours. At least 39 credit hours must be courses from faculties other than the Faculty of Education. In the case of a discrepancy between the printed calendar and the web version, the printed calendar will be considered to be accurate.
