Retention in the Program

Students accepted into the department must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 and must demonstrate appropriate progress on all required licensure standards in order to be placed for student teaching and recommended for licensure. The department reserves the right to dismiss candidates from the licensure programs based on unprofessional actions or unsatisfactory progress toward meeting state mandated licensure standards. All courses completed in fulfillment of licensure requirements must have an earned grade of “C” or better.
