Provisional Admission
Students may be provisionally admitted to the Teacher Education Program based on one of the following two conditions:
- Praxis I - PRE-PROFESSIONAL SKILLS TEST (PPST)
This provisional admission only applies if the deficiency is in one and only one test area: mathematics, reading, or writing. A student who scores below the cut-off score in more than one test area will not be considered for provisional admission. The student must have successfully met all other requirements for admission and have a minimum overall GPA of 2.50. Provisional admission is for one semester only. Failure of the student to successfully meet all requirements for admission by the end of the provisional semester (the date final grades are due) will result in removal from the Teacher Education Program.
- Overall Grade Point Average of 2.5
This provisional admission only applies if the overall GPA is at or above 2.40. A student whose overall GPA is below 2.40 will not be considered for provisional admission. The student must have successfully met all other requirements for admission. Provisional admission is for one semester only. Failure of the student to successfully meet all requirements for admission by the end of the provisional semester (the date final grades are due) will result in removal from the Teacher Education Program.
Appeals
No appeals are allowed for admission. When there is cause to deny a candidate continuation, the candidate will be notified in writing regarding the reason for the denial. If the candidate believes there are extenuating circumstances that warrant further and special consideration, the candidate may appeal the decision by following the procedures listed in the School of Education, Health, and Human Performance Appeals Policy and Procedures.
