Participants are required to be enrolled full-time during both Fall and Spring semesters. During this time candidates are expected to devote all their energies and efforts to the course work, field experiences, and other requirements of the program. There are no elective courses.

Grades below “C” will not be accepted in courses designated to fulfill certificate requirements. Required TEP courses, unless designated “credit/no credit,” may not be taken on a “credit/no credit” basis. A 3.0 GPA must be maintained in all TEP program course work. A candidate whose GPA in TEP courses falls below 3.0 may be dismissed from the program. In order to enroll in TEP courses, students must be admitted as teacher candidates into the program. Candidates must progress through the TEP coursework and field experiences in two consecutive semesters. Spring semester enrollment is based on recommendation of the Education faculty. A candidate may be removed from a field experience when, in the judgment of the Education faculty, Department of Education cooperating teacher, and school principal the student is disrupting the educational process or is not making satisfactory progress toward meeting the requirements of the program. Such removal may result in complete dismissal from the program.

Students and candidates who stop out of the University must reapply and meet all criteria in effect for the respective Admission deadline.
