Student's with G.P.A.'s below 2.5 may be admitted on a Credential Provisional admission. The student is required to complete three courses at NU with a GPA of 3.0 before matriculation. Prior to matriculation you are not eligible for financial aid and not eligible to make partial payments with the business office. At this meeting students receive a packet of materials that outline the requirements to receive a California credential. All seven method and theory courses and all testing must be completed prior to student teaching.
Students have seven years from enrollment to complete the program.
Students select three districts for student teaching. The supervisor selects the school site and the master teacher. The supervisor assigned to the student evaluates the student teacher on several occasions during the student teaching experience. The master teacher also evaluates the student teacher during the student teaching experience. I started a credential program at another school and think some of the courses are the equivalent to NU courses.
