Things I Need to Know

Before I can move on in my EDU degree I must have completed the Parxis 1 examination. When you complete Parxis 1 with a high enough score it enables you to take Practicum.

While I haven't considered it, if I never decide to swap majors I must complete the following documentation attach them together and hand them to  Kristin Hickey. (Major Swap form, photocopy of Parxis 1 scores, and a brief essay about myself)

In order to get into Practicum you must have completed and passed the Parxis 1 (all 3 sections), SED / EDU 101, 2.0 GPA, and must currently be in the major of Secondary Education.


Continuing about Practicum it is recommended by other students not to take other courses during that semester.

• Practicum students may only enroll in one class in addition to the 12-credit Practicum course but it must start at 2:30pm or later.
• Meet with your advisor for pre-registration; get a printout of your approved schedule showing Practicum. Have your advisor sign the printout. Be sure to have an alternate schedule in case you are not able to get into Practicum for that semester.
• Come to the Practicum Party with your signed printout. You will receive an email from Kristin Hickey announcing the date and time of the Practicum Party. In the past, it's been at 5pm and pizza has been served. At the party, you will fill out an application form, do some other paperwork, and meet with Beth Evans, the field supervisor for Practicum. When you leave the party, you will know if you are definitely in, on the waiting list, or not in for the coming semester. If you are either on the waiting list or not in Practicum, you will register for your backup schedule that you and your advisor came up with.
