Once students have been admitted to teacher education, they must continue to perform satisfactorily in all courses, progress through the program in a timely manner, and maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.50.
Periodic reviews take place as students proceed throughout the program.
The Department of Education maintains an early intervention and counseling committee to review the viability of pre-service teachers enrolled in its program. Recommendations are made to the student s advisor concerning academic performance, completion of admission requirements, and progress toward graduation. Students may be referred to work on areas of weakness and utilize the student services available on campus. Once the student has received the proper guidance and progress is not evident, as judged by the academic advisor and the committee on early intervention and counseling, the student may be counseled out of the program. This is an opportunity afforded to all students in need of professional guidance.
