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, student teaching, and/or internship. To accommodate students who choose or do not qualify for their original program of study, the college has a plan whereby students with at least a 2.0 accumulative grade point average may select Planned Program as a vehicle for bachelor's degree completion.

Students desiring to graduate in the Planned Program option must consult with a college advisor in the Student and Academic 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 with the academic program to be removed from the Planned Program. Such a petition cannot be submitted any sooner than one year after the student's 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.
