Congratulations on your provisional
admission into the program! Your
admission is valid for five years
from the date of your acceptance
letter. You will be
formally admitted as a candidate for
licensure at the beginning of your
student teaching semester provided
you have successfully completed all
required course work, testing, and
field experience. Participation in the
program demands your maintenance of
high standards of professional
conduct and scholarship. When
starting the program it is important
that you do the follow:
- Extensively read over your admissions letter and corresponding supplemental letters.
- Complete your background clearance check and fingerprinting (See details in your supplemental letter) It is VERY IMPORTANT that you comply
with the deadline dates to ensure that the results will be received before
you start education classes. According
to Utah State Office of Education guidelines, WSU can NOT accept background clearances from any other agencies. Additional information may be found on the Livescan Fingerprinting website.
- Participate in the "First Reading"
Assignment (Please note: this does
not apply to secondary ed. students). Please refer to
your acceptance letter for the title
of the book you will need to read.
-
Attend the mandatory new student
orientation session which will be
the first day of classes.
It is also important that you seek
advisement on a regular basis.
Please contact an advisor if you have questions on course
requirements, transfer course work,
or any miscellaneous questions. Remember to review the suggested program of study for your license area and your orientation material.
Be sure to have your Praxis II Content test taken by the end of the semester prior to student teaching. Visit the ETS links at the side for test and registration information.
Clinical Practice (Student Teaching)
is completed the last semester of
your program of study. There
is a separate application for
student teaching which is due the
semester before you plan to student
teach. The deadline is within
the first
two weeks of the semester. Please
see the student teaching website for more information.
