Retention in Teacher Certification Programs

In order to be retained in the EPP, candidates must maintain a grade point average of at least 2.75 overall, in their professional studies, and teaching field(s).

Candidates who fail to maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.75 while pursuing studies in the College of Education but are eligible to continue their studies at the university will be referred to their advisor. The advisor will assist the candidate in developing an appropriate class schedule that shall not include additional professional studies courses. If after two semesters, the candidate has not achieved the required 2.75 GPA (overall, professional studies, and teaching field); the candidate will be recommended for remediation.
