Placement

Students must report to the Center for Learning and Instruction, E-222, only if written approval has been given by the Certification Officer, E-234. The necessary paperwork will then be given for the placement process to begin.

Registration

To Register for the Student Teaching Seminar, EDUC 491, students must attain a permit from the Certification Officer, E-234.

NOTE: If you are graduating the semester before student teaching you must fill out a Post-Baccalaureate Form when obtaining permission for the course. When you graduate the registration system no longer considers you a student and you need to be re-admitted for term.
