formally admitted to the Teacher Education program for the RAMP semester. Students will need to submit documentation
of a negative TB test as required by school districts upon entering field experiences in the public schools.
During the RAMP semester, students will maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA with no grade lower than 2.0 (“C”) in any education
(EDU) course, satisfactorily complete the professional classroom experiences and CIU dispositional requirements, and
qualify with the dispositional, faculty, and Student Life recommendations.
Non-compliance in any semester may lead to a probationary period or discontinuation from the program.
During clinical practice/student teaching in the five-year program, candidates are placed full time in a local public school
classroom. In addition to coursework, field experience, and competency requirements before clinical practice/student
teaching, candidates must have a “cleared” status on an FBI fingerprint and background check. (Eligible applicants who
have prior arrests and/or convictions must undergo a review by the State Board of Education and be approved before a
license can be issued.)
See Appendix A for B.A. /B.S. graduation requirements; for the master’s degree see M.A.T. graduation requirements.
Although advisors assist students in planning their courses of study, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all
requirements for graduation have been met.
