| On page 109, under the heading DEGREES, in the College
of Education chapter of the Undergraduate Catalog, 2004-2006, make
the following changes: |
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
| 1. |
[Students seeking early childhood through grade four certification
must complete in residence at least twenty-four semester hours in the
professional development sequence, including student teaching.] All
College of Education students seeking teacher certification must complete
the entire professional development sequence of coursework in residence. Residence credit includes
only courses taken at the University; it does not include credit by examination,
courses taken by extension or correspondence, or courses taken at another
institution.
|
| 2. |
Except as otherwise indicated, credit by examination is treated as any
other earned credit in meeting degree requirements.
|
| 3. |
With the exception of credit earned by examination, each course counted
toward the degree or toward certification requirements must be taken on
the letter-grade basis, unless the course is offered only on the pass/fail
basis. Credit earned by examination on the pass/fail basis may be counted
toward degree and certification requirements.
|
| 4. |
To graduate, all students must have a University grade point average
of at least 2.00.
|
| 5. |
A student may not earn both the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and
the Bachelor of Arts with an intercollege major in kinesiology and health. |
RATIONALE:
We divide students into small cohorts when they enter the professional development
sequence. They continue through a three-semester sequence with the same group
of students, taking the same classes. Consequently, we do not accept courses
in transfer from other schools.
