Planned program

Some students in the College of Education and Human Development decide late in the four-year sequence that they do not wish to complete their methods and/or internship. Others may be counseled out of their profession by advisers and faculty. To accommodate such students, the college has a plan whereby students with at least a 2.0 accumulative grade point average can graduate planned program.

Students desiring to graduate under the planned program must complete a Planned Program Form, obtainable from and returnable to the Undergraduate Student Services office, 365 Education. If a planned program is approved and the student is in a licensure program, the student is not eligible for licensure. If a student decides to pursue licensure after a planned program has been approved, he or she must file an appeal to be removed from the planned program. Such a petition cannot be submitted any sooner than one year before the student's anticipated graduation date. If approved, the candidate must meet the requirements for methods and/or student teaching internship and licensure eligibility in effect at the time of the desired student teaching and/or recommendation for licensure.
