TCP Enrollment

• Students must maintain the required cumulative GPA of 3.0.
• Grades of C (2.0) or above are required in all education/special education courses.

• Students may repeat education/special education courses only one time (i.e., a course may be taken for credit a maximum of two times).
• If a student is formally removed from a pre-practicum or student teaching/experience-based practicum due to unsatisfactory teaching performance or for a lack of professionalism after use of a success plan, the student may not repeat either course.
• Students are expected to be continuously enrolled unless they are on an approved Leave of Absence.

The number of required courses for each student is based on a transcript evaluation of all completed baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate coursework, as well as work and life experience. Each student will be provided with an individualized list of courses required for certification.
