Once these items are checked off by the Teacher Education Program Coordinator, students are required to go before the TEP Admission Interview Committee. This committee will make a recommendation to the Teacher Education Committee as to the TEP admission status. Transfer students and graduate students seeking initial certification must apply immediately for admission to the program and meet criteria outlined above. Graduate students seeking initial certification must be admitted to the Teacher Education Program. Transfer of appropriate education courses from another institution is contingent upon successful completion of required field experiences in the public schools and clinical experiences on campus.
Documentation is required.
Substitution of education courses shall be approved by the appropriate department in the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences. Education courses completed more than five years prior to readmission or initial admission in a provisional certification program shall be reviewed for program needs or deficiencies. The review shall be conducted by the appropriate department in the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences. Retention in the teacher education program is dependent upon students maintaining admission requirements. Any student denied admission to, or suspended from, the teacher education program may reapply for admission once each semester.
