Continuance Requirements

Student performance in the M.A. TESOL program

is checked periodically to ensure that the student

is progressing appropriately toward meeting pro-

gram objectives. The following requirements must

be met by all M.A. TESOL students:

• Maintaining a minimum GPA of 2.70 with no

grade below a “C.”

• Evidence of motivation and ability to complete

the requirements.

• Evidence of spiritual commitment consistent

with the objectives of CIU.

• Participation in self-evaluation of educator

competencies.

• Submission of satisfactory faculty recommen-

dations.

Students should strive to maintain these stan-

dards during their entire time in the program, but

student progress is formally evaluated twice dur-

ing the program, after the completion of 12 and

24 semester hours. At these two checkpoints,

students are reviewed by College of Education

faculty. Any student not satisfying the require-

ments is advised in writing of appropriate remedi-

ation steps or, in limited cases, of the need to

withdraw from the program.

Time Limit

The time limitation for completion of all require-

ments is six years measured from the date a stu-

dent begins coursework in the M.A. TESOL

program.

Residency Requirements

Course credits earned at another institution may

be counted toward the M.A. TESOL degree, but

the majority of the course credits required for the

degree must be taken at CIU. Transfer credit

must be approved by the student’s advisor and

the dean. Additional policies governing transfer

credit are outlined in the Admissions section of

this catalog.

Graduation Requirements

• Students must complete 30 hours of specified

course work with a minimum GPA of 2.70 and

no grade below a “C” in order to graduate.

• Completion of Graduation Application form.

Applications must be received by the Office of

the University Registrar by no later than the

announced dates. Candidates should check

with the Office of the University Registrar to

determine the appropriate dates.

Note:

It is the student’s responsibility to be sure

that all prerequisite courses and degree require-

ments are met. Students must also petition any

changes to the curriculum as outlined in this cat-

alog at least one semester prior to graduation.
