Grading Policies

All education program courses must be taken on a letter grade basis, except EDU 39, EDU 100, EDU 101, EDU 102, EDU 109/EDU 209A, EDU 109B/EDU 209B, EDU 111/EDU 211, EDU 229, EDU 154L, EDU 156L,  the EDU 296 and EDU 297 series, the EDU 225 series, EDU 226A, field mentorship, intern mentorship, and supervised teaching which are Credit/No Credit courses.

Undergraduate students must maintain an overall grade point average of 2.5. Failure to maintain the 2.5 GPA will place a student on probation. Refer to the University probation policy in the Academic Information section.

All students must maintain a GPA of 3.0 in education program courses, including prerequisites. If a student's GPA in education classes drops below 3.0 in any semester, the student is placed on probation for the next semester. If the student does not attain a GPA of a 3.0 in the program, including prerequisites, within two semesters on probation, the student will be disqualified from the program. Students may repeat education courses in which a grade of C- was earned to raise the GPA to 3.0. Recommendation for a teaching credential requires a 3.0 GPA in education program courses with no course grade below C-. The DHH program requires all course grades to be B- or above.

Course credit is not granted for a grade of D or F in an education course. A student may repeat the first course in which a grade of D or F is received. Receiving a second D or F, either in the repeated course or in another course in the program, results in disqualification from the program. For supervised teaching, students will be assigned credit (CR) for the experience if their performance in the Supervised Teaching course is evaluated as B quality or better. If a student's work is evaluated as work of below B quality, no credit (NC) will be awarded. Students receiving a grade of NC may petition to re-register for 4 to 8 units of supervised teaching. For the Clear, students will be assigned credit (CR) if their performance in the seminar is evaluated as B quality or better. If a student's work is evaluated as work of below B quality, no credit (NC) will be awarded. Students receiving a grade of NC may petition to re-register for the seminar in which the no credit (NC) was awarded.
