School of Education 1

SCHOOL OF EDUCATIONThe School of Education at UW–Madison is consistently ranked as oneof the finest schools of education in the United States, and among thebest in the world. The school embraces fields of study that define thehuman experience: education to challenge minds, health to improve lives,and the arts to enhance creative spirits, and also conducts world-classresearch to drive conversation forward. The school prepares students in avariety of disciplines and for a range of professional roles, including artist,teacher, and therapist.

Approximately 1,500 undergraduates are enrolled each year in the Schoolof Education. While many students are pursuing teacher certification, asignificant number are completing programs in the performing and visualarts, human movement, and human services.

The School of Education offers a broad array of undergraduateprograms that reflect the wide range of disciplines housed in the school.Although undergraduate majors are not offered in all departments,all ten departments do offer courses to undergraduate students.The school's departments include: Art (http://guide.wisc.edu/undergraduate/education/art), Counseling Psychology (http://counselingpsych.education.wisc.edu), Curriculum and Instruction (http://guide.wisc.edu/undergraduate/education/curriculum-instruction), Dance(http://guide.wisc.edu/undergraduate/education/dance), EducationalLeadership and Policy Analysis (http://elpa.education.wisc.edu),Educational Policy Studies (http://guide.wisc.edu/undergraduate/education/educational-policy-studies), Educational Psychology (http://guide.wisc.edu/undergraduate/education/educational-psychology),Kinesiology (http://guide.wisc.edu/undergraduate/education/kinesiology), Rehabilitation Psychology and Special Education (http://guide.wisc.edu/undergraduate/education/rehabilitation-psychology-special-education), and Theatre and Drama (http://guide.wisc.edu/undergraduate/education/theatre-drama).

Most School of Education students, including those interestedin teacher education, begin their academic careers with a "pre-professional" designation. Application to the professional componentof the undergraduate program is made as prerequisite courseworkis completed. Students admitted to the university as art, educationstudies, or theatre and drama majors enter directly into their professionalprogram. Dance majors are admitted based on an audition.

Many programs within the school are selective and competitive. Schoolof Education faculty seek committed, creative, and reflective studentswho are sensitive to differing perspectives. For this reason, most ofthe school's limited-enrollment programs use criteria beyond gradepoint average to determine professional program admission. For thisreason, too, the school consistently encourages students to challengethemselves and their initial career choices through volunteer experiences,service learning courses, internships or paid work experiences, and studyabroad.

Students find that the School of Education is their academic andadministrative home—a source of advising, guidance, support, andcommunity. Small class sizes in many pre-professional and professionalcourses allow students to develop a strong sense of community andto get ample individual attention from professors, instructors, andteaching assistants. Teaching staff are extremely willing to get toknow their students and work with them to meet their goals. School ofEducation courses also provide students the chance to get to know their

classmates well. The School of Education works to offer a caring, secure,and supportive environment that encourages taking risks, expandingpersonal boundaries, and developing into a professional.

POLICIES AND REGULATIONS

ACADEMIC CONCERNS AND STATUSACADEMIC ACTIONS AND EXCEPTIONS Academic actions and exceptions are used to record a student'sprogress through the university and to document variousadministrative and academic situations. Actions can be groupedinto two broad categories:

• those that permit exceptions to program requirements andschool/university policies and

• those that affect a student's standing in the university—e.g., probation or transferring from one program toanother.

As the undergraduate dean's office, Education Academic Services(EAS) is responsible for reviewing, approving, documenting, andsometimes initiating academic actions and exceptions. To beposted to a student's record, exceptions must go through severalsteps. Exceptions may be initiated either by program faculty/staffor by EAS staff. EAS staff and faculty/staff often consult abouta specific exception. Once an exception has been approved, itis processed either as an official "Dean's action" or as a DARSexception. Students can find a record of dean's actions on theirprinted unofficial transcript (also called the student record) or

on their DARS report. A DARS exception will be reflected in theindividual student's DARS report.

Exceptions to faculty approved program requirements generallyinclude course substitutions and rarely involve course or programrequirement waivers. Exceptions to campus or School policiesinclude permission for adding or dropping a course beyondthe deadlines, waiving senior or major residency requirements,extending the deadline for meeting a deficiency or finishing anIncomplete, and permitting students to repeat a course for credit.A request for an exception requires careful consideration fromall parties involved. Students should be prepared to explain thereasoning behind a request and offer supporting documentation.

Substantial consultation time with faculty, staff, and/or deans maybe required, so students should not expect to receive an immediateanswer to a request during the initial appointment.

ACADEMIC STANDING: DEAN'S LIST, ACADEMICPROBATION, ETC.To remain in good academic standing in the School of Education,students must earn both a semester grade point average (GPA)and a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5. While the2.5 grade point average may not be sufficient to permit studentsto be considered for admission to their program of choice, it isthe minimum required to remain in the School of Education. Thismay be substantially higher than minimum grade point averagerequirements in other schools/colleges on campus.

Dean's ListStudents have at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA and 3.5 or higherfor the semester. Students must have received no incompletes ingraded courses, no unreported grades, or end-of-semester academicactions for the semester. Credit/no credit and pass/fail courses arenot considered in meeting the requirements for the Dean's List.

ProbationA student's grade point average for a particular semester falls below2.5, while the cumulative campus GPA remains at or above 2.5.Students must earn a minimum 2.5 grade point average on the nextsemester's coursework to be removed from probation status.

Strict ProbationStrict Probation occurs when either (1) a student's cumulative GPAfalls below a 2.5 OR (2) a student already on probation earns lessthan a 2.5 grade point average for the subsequent semester. To bein good standing, students on strict probation must earn both a 2.5GPA on the next semester's coursework and also have a cumulativeGPA of 2.5 by the end of the next semester. Students on StrictProbation status have an enrollment hold placed on their recordfor the subsequent semester. These students are not permitted toenroll until they have met with an EAS advisor.

Continued Strict ProbationA student already on strict probation obtained a 2.5 GPA or aboveon the next semester's coursework, but the cumulative GPA isstill below 2.5. Once both grade point averages are at or above2.5, the student will be in good academic standing. Students onContinued Strict Probation status have an enrollment hold placedon their record for the subsequent semester. These students are notpermitted to enroll until they have met with an EAS advisor.


May Not Continue in the School of EducationStudents on strict probation or continued strict probation who earnless than a 2.5 GPA on the next semester's work will receive noticethat they may not continue in the School of Education. Studentson May Not Continue status who do not seek or are not grantedpermission to continue may be withdrawn from the university anddropped from courses ("disenrolled"). Students are expected tocontact EAS immediately to discuss options, including transfer toanother school or college on campus, transfer to another university,or withdrawal from UW–Madison.

CONTINUATION REQUIREMENT: DEPARTMENT OFKINESIOLOGYAll students admitted to undergraduate programs in the Departmentof Kinesiology, including Physical Education, must maintain acumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.75, based onall UW–Madison campus coursework. A student whose GPA fallsbelow 2.75 will be placed on probation for the following semester.If the GPA remains below a 2.75 at the end of the probationarysemester, the student will receive a discontinuation letter indicatingthat they must transfer out of the Department of Kinesiology.A hold will be placed on the student's registration for the secondsemester following the probationary semester, until the transferis complete. Students in this situation must transfer to anotherSchool of Education program, another UW–Madison school/college, to another institution altogether, or must withdraw from theuniversity.

If a student wishes to appeal being discontinued in the department,it must be done in writing to the Chair of the Undergraduate StudiesCommittee within 30 days of the date of the notification letter. TheUndergraduate Studies Committee may request that the studentappear in person at an Undergraduate Studies Committee meetingto present the case.

If a negative decision is reached by the Undergraduate StudiesCommittee, a student may choose to appeal in writing to theDepartment of Kinesiology Student Affairs Committee within 30days of the date of the notification.

If a negative decision is reached by the Department’s StudentAffairs Committee, a student may choose to appeal in writing to theChair of the Department of Kinesiology within 30 days of the date ofthe notification.

If a negative decision is reached by the Chair of the Departmentof Kinesiology, a student may choose to follow the School ofEducation Grievance Policy.

In the event of a positive decision at any level, the student will beallowed to continue for one semester in order to raise the GPA to2.75 or higher. A 2.75 cumulative GPA is required to graduate fromthe Department of Kinesiology.

GRIEVANCE POLICY IN THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATIONAny student who feels that he or she has been treated unfairlyby a faculty or staff member has the right to complain aboutthe treatment and to receive a prompt hearing of the grievance,following these grievance procedures. The complaint may concerncourse grades, classroom treatment, program admission, or otherissues. To insure a prompt and fair hearing of any complaint, andto protect both the rights of the student and the person at whom

the complaint is addressed, the procedures below are used in theSchool of Education.

The person whom the complaint is directed against must be anemployee of the School of Education. Any student or potentialstudent may use these procedures unless the complaint is coveredby other campus rules or contracts. The following steps areavailable within the School of Education when a student has agrievance:

1. The student should first talk with the person againstwhom the grievance is directed. Most issues can besettled at this level. If the complaint is directed against ateaching assistant, and the student is not satisfied, thenext step would be to talk to the TA's supervisor, whois usually the course professor. If the complaint is notresolved satisfactorily, the student may continue to step 2.

2. If the complaint does not involve an academic department,the procedure outlined in Step 4 below should be followed.If the complaint involves an academic department, thestudent should contact the chair of the department. Thechair will attempt to resolve the problem informally. If thiscannot be done to the student's satisfaction, the studentmay submit the grievance to the chair in writing. Thismust be done within 60 calendar days of the alleged unfairtreatment.

3. On receipt of a written complaint, the chair will referthe matter to a departmental committee, which willobtain a written response from the person at whom thecomplaint is directed. This response shall be shared withthe person filing the grievance. The chair will provide atimely written decision to the student on the action takenby the committee.

4. If either party is not satisfied with the decision of thedepartment, he or she has five working days from receiptof the decision to contact the dean's office (at the numberbelow), indicating the intention to appeal. If the complaintdoes not involve an academic department in the school,the student must contact the dean's office within 60calendar days of the alleged unfair treatment.

5. In either case, there will be an attempt to resolve the issueinformally by the associate dean. If this cannot be done,the complaint can be filed in writing with the dean's office.This must be done within 10 working days of the time theappealing party was notified that informal resolution wasunsuccessful.

6. On receipt of such a written complaint, the associatedean will convene a subcommittee of the school's Equity& Diversity Committee. This subcommittee may ask foradditional information from the parties involved andmay hold a hearing at which both parties will be askedto speak separately. The subcommittee will then makea written recommendation to the dean of the School ofEducation who will render a decision. Unless a longer timeis negotiated, this written decision shall be made within 20working days from the date when the grievance was filedwith the dean's office.

Questions about these procedures can be directed to the School ofEducation Dean's Office, 377 Education Building, 1000 Bascom Mall,608-262-1763.


State law contains additional provisions regarding discriminationand harassment. Wisconsin Statutes 36.12 reads, in part: "Nostudent may be denied admission to, participation in or the benefitsof, or be discriminated against in any service, program, course orfacility of the system or its institutions or center because of thestudent's race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, disability,ancestry, age, sexual orientation, pregnancy, marital status orparental status." In addition, UW–System prohibits discriminationbased on gender identity or gender expression. Students havethe right to file discrimination and harassment complaintswith the Office for Equity and Diversity, 179A Bascom Hall,608-263-2378, [email protected], ([email protected])relay calls accepted.

PART-TIME ENROLLMENT STATUSStudents who choose part-time enrollment status or who anticipatefalling below full-time enrollment status due to dropping a courseshould consult with an EAS advisor. Part-time enrollment may haveimportant implications for any number of issues, including healthinsurance coverage or financial aid. It is especially important thatathletes and international students consult with EAS and otheradvisors if considering part-time enrollment. Students who dropbelow 12 credits need not leave university housing.

RE-ENTRY TO CAMPUS AFTER AN ABSENCEStudents wishing to reenter UW–Madison after an absence ofa semester or more must file a reentry application form. Thisform is available from the UW–Madison Office of Admissions andRecruitment (http://admissions.wisc.edu). If an applicant is not ingood academic standing, the reentry application will be referred tothe associate dean.

Students admitted to the professional part of a program mayleave UW–Madison for a maximum of two consecutive semesters(excluding summer sessions) and be eligible to reenter directlyinto the program. Students in this situation are not guaranteedimmediate placement in a practicum or student teaching placementupon reentry, and graduation may be delayed because of priorcommitments to continuing students. Students who leave theprogram for more than two consecutive semesters (excludingsummer sessions) may be considered for readmission only onan individual basis. Lack of space in a program may precludereadmission directly into a program for any future semester. Giventhe individual circumstances, a student may be required to reapplyto the program altogether.

The general policy above may be modified by any particularprogram so that the conditions of reentry match the structure of theprofessional program. Some programs require that students obtainprior approval to interrupt the program sequence. All studentsintending to be absent should leave with a firm understanding ofthe conditions guiding their reentry into their professional program.Consult with the appropriate faculty advisor and with EducationAcademic Services.

RESIDENCY (MAJOR & SENIOR) REQUIREMENTSMajor ResidencyStudents must complete at UW–Madison at least 15 creditsin upper-level courses in the major. Some programs, e.g., Art,require more credits to meet major residency requirements. Upper-level courses are generally defined as those numbered 300 andabove, but this varies by program area. Retroactive credits and

credits granted by examination do not count toward the residencyrequirement.

Senior ResidencySeniors in the School of Education must complete the last 30credits in residence. Special permission to take a portion of seniorwork either at another institution or by correspondence (via UW–Extension) must be obtained in advance from Education AcademicServices. Coursework taken as part of a UW–Madison sponsoredstudy abroad program does not count against senior residency.Students should discuss senior residency issues with their EASadvisor. Retroactive credits and credits granted by examination donot count toward the residency requirement.

EXCESS CREDIT AND SATISFACTORY PROGRESSExcess CreditsWisconsin resident undergraduates who have accumulatedmore than 165 completed credits will be assessed a 100% tuitionsurcharge on credits over 165, as required by the UW SystemBoard of Regents. This policy was effective beginning Fall2004. See Excess Cumulative Credits (http://registrar.wisc.edu/excess_cumulative_credits.htm) on the registrar's website for moreinformation about this policy and the criteria used in countingcumulative, completed credits. Note: Students who have alreadybeen awarded a Bachelor's degree from any accredited institutionare exempt from the tuition surcharge. Special students are alsoexempt.

Satisfactory Progress: Second degree candidates andEducation Special (non-degree-seeking) StudentsThe School of Education is enriched by admitting students witha previous degree to our programs. We welcome these studentsand encourage them to apply to our the School. At the same time,admission as a second-degree or Education Special (designatedEDS or EDCS) student is a privilege granted by the School ofEducation. Second-degree and Education Special students areexpected to make the same timely progress toward programcompletion as are initial-degree students.

To ensure satisfactory progress, second-degree and EducationSpecial students who are identified to have met any one of thecriteria below will be required to confer with her/his programcoordinator and the undergraduate academic dean for purposes ofdeveloping a formal plan for program completion:

• Student has earned over 200 total credits.• Student enrolled for two consecutive semesters without

completing requirements for the professional program towhich the student was initially admitted.

• Student withdrew from classes for two consecutivesemesters.

• Student failed to enroll in a required course when it wasavailable, particularly those that are intermittently offered.

• Student engages in other course selection patternsthat result in his/her failing to make progress towardcompletion of initial program.

Students who do not meet the terms of the plan for programcompletion may be restricted to enrollment in specific courses ordepartments, prevented from enrolling entirely, or withdrawn fromclasses by the academic undergraduate dean after consultationwith program faculty. Students may appeal the terms of the plan or


any of the dean’s actions above under the provisions of the Schoolof Education Grievance Policy.

WITHDRAWING FROM UW–MADISONFormal withdrawal procedures must be observed by individualswho wish to leave the university before completing the semesterin progress. Students who leave the university without formallywithdrawing may receive failing grades in all courses.

COURSES AND COURSE ENROLLMENTATTENDANCE POLICIESFaculty and instructors may require students to attend scheduledmeetings of a class and/or to participate in other course-relatedactivities, including distance activities. Students are responsible formaterials presented in such meetings or activities. Because coursesare designed and conducted in diverse ways, faculty and instructorsare expected to inform students in writing at the beginning ofeach course if there are specific expectations for attendance/participation, including whether any component of the grade isbased on such attendance/participation.

AUDITING A COURSEA student may audit a course only if the instructor consents andif no laboratory or performance skills are required. (The secondrestriction usually prevents students from auditing Dance or Artcourses.) Auditors do not participate in classroom discussionsor take examinations, but are expected to attend with reasonableregularity and do some assigned work.

Audited courses carry no degree credits, are not graded, do notcount in determining full-time/part-time load for enrollmentcertification in an academic term, and do not meet degreerequirements for School of Education students. Students interestedin auditing a course should confer with their EAS advisor. Thedeadline to change a course from credit to audit is the end ofthe fourth week of classes; no exceptions to this deadline arepermitted.

CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT AT TWOINSTITUTIONS School of Education students may occasionally choose totake courses at another institution—e.g., Madison College orIndependent Learning through UW–Extension—while being a fullyenrolled student on the UW–Madison campus. This is generallypermitted, but does require a specific dean's action. Full-time orpart-time student status is usually determined by the credits takenat UW–Madison only; thus, students who take only nine creditson campus and three credits at another institution may not beconsidered full-time students.

CREDIT OVERLOAD PERMISSIONThe School of Education allows students to carry a maximumof 18 credits per semester without special permission. Schoolof Education undergraduates may, with an academic dean'spermission, enroll for more than 18 credits in a semester. Studentsmust confer with a School of Education academic dean about sucha request. Students must be in excellent academic standing to beconsidered for a credit overload and will be liable for the additionaltuition costs beyond 18 credits.

During summer sessions, students may, as a rule, carry one creditper week of instruction. The maximum credit load for Educationstudents for the entire summer session is 12. Session-specificlimits follow the rule of 1 credit per week of instruction, except 9credits are allowed in the Eight-Week General Session. Studentsmust obtain permission from an academic dean to carry anoverload in any of the summer sessions.

DIRECTED/INDEPENDENT STUDYDirected Study, also called Independent Study, offers the studentan opportunity to work with a School of Education faculty memberon an individual topic of interest. Most School of Educationdepartments make directed study courses available to students onthe basis of the student's preparation and motivation and a facultymember's willingness to accept the student in such an endeavor.Directed Study courses are generally numbered 199, 299, 399, and699.

This study option is intended primarily for advanced students whohave a depth of knowledge in a field, the self-discipline necessaryfor independent work, and strong motivation to pursue a specialproject. Some program areas limit the number of Directed Studycredits that can be applied to major or minor requirements.

Directed Study is taken as a supplement to, but not as areplacement for, available course offerings. In this way, it maybe used to expand areas of particularly strong interest. Extraresponsibility is required from the faculty member involved, andno member of the faculty is obligated to accept a proposal for adirected study project. Students should have a well-defined outlineof the topic to be studied before discussing the project with afaculty member.

Both the student and instructor must follow UW–Madison's Policyon Directed/Independent Study for Undergraduates (https://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=36263). Important components of thisdocument include, but are not limited to:

• The student's responsibility to develop a written studyplan, in collaboration and agreement with the instructor,consistent with the responsibilities of the instructor.The study plan will include expectations for learning andstudent work, the time and place for regular meetings,the number of credits to be earned, and any other issuesrelated to the learning experience.

• Guidelines for assigning the appropriate number of creditsto the Directed Study.

• Responsibilities of the Directed Study instructor.• The approval process for enrolling in a Directed Study after

the course add deadline (usually the end of the secondweek of class in fall and spring semesters).

INDEPENDENT LEARNING COURSE ENROLLMENTStudents occasionally elect to take an Independent Learning(https://continuingstudies.wisc.edu/independent-learning/independent-learning-courses) course through the Universityof Wisconsin–Extension. Many of the courses offered throughIndependent Learning (IL) can count toward specific degreerequirements and students have an entire year to complete thecoursework. Individuals interested in enrolling in an IndependentLearning course should note the following important issues:


Course EquivalenciesIndependent Learning courses are not automatically transferableas equivalent UW–Madison campus courses—even when theIndependent Learning course carries the same number and title.Use the Transfer Information System (TIS) (http://www.uwsa.edu/tis) to ensure that the Independent Learning course is equivalent tothe campus required course. Faculty and dean's offices may havesome discretion in permitting courses to count for requirementseven when they are not coded as exactly equivalent; studentsshould see their EAS advisor.

Concurrent EnrollmentUW–Extension is an entirely separate institution from UW–Madison. Thus, UW–Madison students must have permissionfrom their academic dean to be enrolled concurrently in anotherhigher education institution. Permission for concurrent enrollmentis granted routinely for School of Education students throughEAS. Students should go to the registrar's office website forthe permission form (https://registrar.wisc.edu/documents/independent_learning_form.pdf). The completed form indicatespermission for concurrent enrollment and, in some circumstances,provides for a waiver of the tuition for the Independent Learningcourse (see additional information below). Students shouldtake this form to Education Academic Services, 139 EducationBuilding, 1000 Bascom Mall, and meet with an advisor. Send it toIndependent Learning after it has been approved at EAS.

Tuition WaiverThe tuition for an Independent Learning course may be waivedwith the academic dean's permission, although the student is stillresponsible for other course enrollment fees. Students are eligiblefor a tuition waiver if they register for an Independent Learningcourse during the semester they are concurrently enrolled at UW–Madison. In some cases, students may be allowed to register forIndependent Learning classes once they have enrolled in coursesfor the subsequent semester, linking their Independent Learningregistration with the credits for the succeeding semester. Studentsinterested in receiving a tuition waiver must be enrolled full time (atleast 12 credits) at UW–Madison, and have no more than 18 creditsafter adding the Independent Learning course. Students shouldsee their EAS advisor for additional information on these policies.As indicated above, download and complete the form (https://registrar.wisc.edu/documents/independent_learning_form.pdf) andsubmit to EAS, 139 Education Building, 1000 Bascom Mall. Thisstamped form must then be sent to Independent Learning, with acopy remaining at EAS.

Posting Independent Learning courses to the UW–MadisontranscriptIndependent Learning courses are posted to the campus transcriptby staff at the Office of Admissions and Recruitment (http://admissions.wisc.edu). A official transcript for an IndependentLearning course must be submitted to this office.

Timing for course completion and degree postingIndependent Learning courses require a substantial timecommitment. Students should not plan to begin an IndependentLearning course only a few weeks before it must be completed!Perhaps even more important, students completing an IndependentLearning course to meet degree requirements during their lastsemester on campus should be aware that the IndependentLearning course must be completed prior to the University's officialgraduation date for that semester. The completion date listed

on the UW–Extension transcript must be on or before the UW–Madison degree completion date or the student's degree will beawarded after the subsequent semester. For example, if a student'sUW–Extension transcript indicates a course completion date ofMay 25, but the UW–Madison degree completion date is May 23,the student's degree will be posted for the subsequent Augustgraduation date, not for the May graduation day. This could createserious problems for teacher education students hoping to securea position. For this reason, students completing final degreerequirements via Independent Learning should consult carefullywith EAS and Independent Learning staff regarding the timing oftheir course completion and degree posting.

LATE COURSE ADDS OR DROPSCourse enrollment regulations must be followed when addingand dropping courses. Students are responsible for knowingand complying with the published deadlines; see the registrar'swebsite (http://www.registrar.wisc.edu) for deadlines. Students areexpected to check their academic records routinely to minimize theneed for late drops based on enrollment errors.

Late Course AddStudents must obtain instructor, departmental, and dean's approvalto add a course after the course add deadline. See the registrar'swebsite (http://www.registrar.wisc.edu) for instructions.

Late Course DropAfter the drop deadline, courses may be dropped only with thepermission of Education Academic Services. Such permission isnot granted routinely, but only in unusual circumstances. Studentsseeking a late drop will be required to complete a formal requestform and may be asked to supply a written justification, medicalor other documentation, and/or proof of having consulted with thecourse instructor. Requests for backdated drops due to ignoranceof campus drop deadlines or to remove a "DR" from the student'srecord will not be honored. Students seeking a late drop mustschedule a meeting with an EAS advisor.

The student will meet with the advisor to discuss the drop request.The advisor will collect information about the circumstances aroundthe request. If appropriate, the advisor will warn about the drop'spossible consequences for financial aid, insurance coverage,student status (for international students), etc. The decision aroundthe late drop may or may not be made during this meeting. Advisorsmay confer with instructors as needed to verify students' reportsand obtain additional information. Advisors may also requirestudents to contact the instructor and may also consult with oneanother and with the associate dean about specific cases. Studentswill be informed via email or telephone about the disposition of theirrequest.

REPEATING COURSESMost courses on the UW–Madison campus may be taken only oncefor purposes of credit. Some courses may be repeated a limitednumber of times for credit. Other courses may be repeated anunlimited number of times for credit. When courses are taken morethan once, all grades and their associated grade points are includedin the cumulative campus grade point average.

Some School of Education professional programs may permitstudents to retake courses for admission eligibility purposes


only. Students should consult EAS staff with questions regardingrepeated courses.

DEGREES, "DOUBLE MAJORS," ANDGRADUATION

ADDITIONAL MAJOR OR "DOUBLE MAJOR"School of Education students may be permitted to complete anadditional major with their School of Education degree program.Students must be admitted to the professional part of their degreeprogram to be eligible to add an additional major; pre-professionalstudents cannot add another major.

Education students wishing to complete an additional major in theCollege of Letters & Science must complete these steps:

1. Contact the department that houses the major of interest.Meet with the undergraduate major advisor there, ifappropriate. Complete the Major Declaration form andobtain departmental approval (usually a signature orstamp).

2. Take the form to Education Academic Services, 139Education Building, 1000 Bascom Mall, and ask for adean's action to permit the additional major. Staff at EASwill take the action and send the form to the registrar'soffice. Note: Students in the School of Education shouldnot take the form to the L&S Student Academic Affairsoffice—even if this is the advice of departmental staff.Requests for an additional major will be rejected bythe registrar's office for lack of the appropriate dean'sapproval.

Students will be granted a degree at the end of the fall, spring,or summer semesters in which all School of Education degreerequirements are complete. Graduation will not be postponed ifstudents have an unfinished additional major or certificate programthat is not required for the degree.

Exceptions to the requirements of an additional major or certificateprogram must be approved by the department and school/collegedean's office in which the major or certificate program is located.

CREDITS-TO-DEGREESchool of Education programs require a minimum of 120 credits inall programs for graduation, although programs may require more.To earn 120 credits in four years (eight semesters), students mustaverage 15 credits per semester. The number of credits carried eachsemester may depend upon a student's preparation, motivation,course selection, employment, and extracurricular activities.

DEGREE AUDIT REPORTING SYSTEM (DARS)At UW–Madison, a DARS report is used to document a student's progresstoward the completion of their degree. This degree audit identifiesthe requirements that have already been completed, and also thosethat remain unsatisfied. A DARS report can offer suggestions aboutappropriate courses that may be taken to meet specific requirements andcan assist in the academic planning process.

Students can access DARS reports through their Student Center in MyUW–Madison. Go to the Academics tab and find DARS on the dropdownmenu.

DARS also has a "what-if" function. This feature makes it possible torequest a DARS report as if pursuing another program or major oncampus. It is an excellent tool if considering a new or additional area ofstudy. School of Education students in a pre-professional classificationsuch as Pre-Elementary (PRE) should request a "what if" DARS report oftheir professional program of interest.

DARS is not intended to replace student contact with academic advisers.It creates more time in an advising appointment to discuss courseoptions, research opportunities, graduate school, or issues of personalinterest or concern to students.

DARS is the document of record, i.e., certifying document of degreecompletion, for program areas in the School of Education.

DUAL DEGREESStudents may be permitted to complete two degreessimultaneously. For example, students may complete two degreeprograms in the School of Education or may choose a degreeprogram in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences alongwith their School of Education degree. Not all schools/collegespermit dual degrees—e.g., this is not permitted by the College ofLetters & Science or by the College of Engineering. Students shouldconfer with an academic dean regarding the ability and feasibilityof completing two degrees programs simultaneously. Studentswishing to earn two undergraduate degrees must follow theseacademic policies:

• If the two degrees to be earned are within the School ofEducation, at least 30 additional credits and all course andgrade point average requirements for the second degreemust be completed for the second degree. When the firstdegree requires 120 credits, a minimum of 150 credits formost majors will be required. The two degree programsmust differ sufficiently to permit the total credits to beaccumulated. Courses may count toward the fulfillmentof both degree programs. Permission to complete twodegrees simultaneously requires the academic dean'sapproval. This approval, and the formal academic actionpermitting the dual degree work, should be sought as earlyas possible to ensure that it is feasible to complete bothdegrees.

• If the two degrees to be earned are from two differentschools/colleges (one degree in Education and one degreein another school or college on this campus), the followingacademic policies shall be followed:

1. Permission to complete two degrees simultaneouslyrequires academic dean's approval from bothschools/colleges. Students should see their currentdean's office for the required paperwork.

2. Admission into the other school/college shall bebased on the admission criteria for that particularschool/college and, when necessary, particularprogram.

3. The two degree programs must differ sufficientlyso that the combined total requirements for the twodegrees are at least 150 credits.

4. The student's program must be reviewed andapproved in both colleges before the start of astudent's senior year in residence.


5. The degree from each college will be awardedsimultaneously.

6. Exceptions to degree requirements must be taken bystaff from the school/college linked to the particulardegree.

GRADES AND GRADINGGrading SystemSee Enrollment and Records (http://guide.wisc.edu/undergraduate/#enrollmentandrecordstext) for detailedinformation on the campus grading system, including the listof possible grades and their impact on a student's grade pointaverage.

Credit/No Credit CoursesCourses designated as being offered on a Credit/No Creditbasis are indicated on the transcript as either CR, meaning thestudent earned the credits for which the course was offered,or N, meaning that the student did not earn any credit eventhough enrolled for the course. Students may not take suchcourses on any other basis.

"F" Grade PoliciesIf the course is repeated, the original F will remain on thetranscript and will be included in computing the GPA. If agrade of F, N (no credit), or U (unsatisfactory) is receivedin student teaching or in courses within required practica,the course may be repeated only if the faculty adviser, thesupervisor of the practicum or student teaching, and theappropriate associate dean gives approval. A third attempt toregister in a course under these conditions is not allowed.

IncompletesA grade of "Incomplete" may be reported for a student whohas carried a subject with passing grades until near the endof the semester and then, because of illness or other unusualand substantiated cause beyond the student's control,has been unable to take or complete the final examination,or to complete some limited amount of term work. AnIncomplete is not given to a student who stays away from afinal examination except as indicated above. In the absenceof substantiated cause, the grade shall be F. Even with suchproof, if the student's work has convinced the instructor thats/he cannot pass the course, the grade shall be F.

Any Incomplete taken by School of Education students mustbe completed by the end of the student's next semester ofresidence (specifically, by the last day of classes), excludingSummer Sessions. If the work is not completed by thisdeadline, the Incomplete will lapse into a Failure unlessthe time limit has been extended in writing by the dean'soffice. (Note that this differs for College of Letters & Sciencestudents: Incompletes must be completed by the end of thefourth week of classes of the student's next semester ofresidence at UW–Madison, excluding Summer Sessions.)

Pass/Fail GradingAll undergraduate students are eligible to take a courseon a pass/fail basis if they request the option prior to thedeadline and are in good academic standing at the time of therequest. Good academic standing for this purpose means thatstudents have a minimum 2.5 cumulative grade-point averagebased on UW–Madison coursework. Undergraduates may

carry one course on a pass/fail basis per term. (Each year’ssummer sessions collectively count as a single term.)

Pass/fail can be chosen only for elective courses. Requiredcourses cannot be taken on a pass/fail basis. The Schoolof Education may reject pass/fail requests for non-electivework, but it is the student’s responsibility to be sure that therequested course is an elective. Courses taken on a pass/failbasis will not count for non-elective requirements—even if theywould normally count toward such requirements.

Students may submit pass/fail requests via their StudentCenter link from the time that they register until midnighton the Friday at the end of the fourth week of fall and springsemesters. For modular and summer session courses, pass/fail requests must be submitted by midnight Friday of theweek in which the session is one-fourth completed. Studentsmay not cancel or add the pass/fail option after the deadlinefor submitting Pass/Fail Option Forms.

Instructors are not notified when a student elects the pass/fail option. (Students can see whether a course is pass/fail intheir Student Center.) When a course is taken on a pass/failbasis, the instructor reports a letter grade, which is convertedby the registrar to an S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory).The grade of S shall be recorded by the registrar in place ofinstructors' grades of A, AB, B, BC, or C. The grade of U shall berecorded by the registrar in place of instructors' grades of D orF. Neither the S nor the U is used in computing the grade-pointaverage. A student must earn at least a C to receive credit forthe course.

Please note that courses completed on a pass/fail basis donot apply toward Liberal Studies, major, minor, or professionaleducation requirements for graduation. Students planninggraduate study should not take courses on a pass/fail basisif these are pre-professional requirements for admission tograduate and/or professional programs. Individuals who areundecided about a major should avoid taking a course on apass/fail basis that might later become a required courseneeded to complete a major. Students may wish to consultwith an advisor before taking a course on a pass/fail basis.

Six-Weeks (Midterm) GradesOnly first-year students receive midterm, or "six-weeks"grades. Midterm grades for first-year students are prepared atthe end of the sixth week of classes and are made availableto students in their Student Center in My UW on Monday ofthe eighth week. An email is sent out to all students with six-week grades informing them of their availability in the StudentCenter.

The midterm grade report provides students with importantfeedback about course enrollment and performance before thecourse drop deadline. Students should check their six-weekgrade report to make sure all courses are listed and gradesindicated. An "NW" means that "No Work" has been turned in;students who have been attending the course should contactthe instructor immediately. In the case of a course registrationproblem, students should see their EAS advisor immediately.

Grades from Transfer CoursesGrades from transfer courses are not posted to the UW–Madison transcript; however, the School of Education uses


all attempted transferable coursework to determine programadmission eligibility and selection grade point average.Students should be aware that grades earned at anotherinstitution will be included in admission calculations. (Coursesfor which an "F" is earned do not transfer to UW–Madison.)Student should see their School of Education advisor if theyhave additional questions about this policy.

PROGRAM ADMISSIONSLAST 60 CREDIT RULETwo grade point averages will be calculated to determinecandidates' eligibility to programs. GPAs will be calculated using

1. all transferable college level coursework attempted, and2. the last 60 credits attempted.

The higher GPA of these two will be used for purposes ofdetermining eligibility. If fewer than 60 credits have been attempted,all credits will be used to calculate the GPA. Graded graduatecoursework will also be used in all GPA calculations. ("Attempted"coursework indicates coursework for which a grade has beenearned.)

The use of the last 60 credits does not supersede other eligibilityrequirements. For example, when a minimum GPA on prerequisitecourses is required, or a minimum major GPA is required tobe eligible for admission, all required courses will be used incalculating this GPA. This will include courses taken prior to the last60 credits. A cumulative GPA, however, will still be calculated basedon the last 60 college credits attempted.

Currently, retention and graduation GPAs are based on all creditsattempted at UW–Madison as an undergraduate student. If eachsemester's GPA after admission to the program meets the requiredGPA for retention, the student will be allowed to continue andcomplete the program.

This policy does not apply to certification programs in Music Education,as the degree is granted from the College of Letters and Science, notthe School of Education.

Contact EAS for additional information regarding the interpretationof this policy.

STUDENTS WITH A PREVIOUS DEGREEA prospective student who already holds an undergraduatedegree is admitted to the School of Education as either anEducation Special student or a Second Degree student, dependingon the academic area of interest and the individual's previouscoursework. The term "Special Student" indicates that thestudent has an interest in pursuing certification in a subject areastudied during the initial degree; the student does not receive asecond degree for this "certification only" coursework. Secondundergraduate degree students are seeking a second degreefrom the School of Education in an area that is different from themajor coursework of the first degree. This degree may, or may not,include teacher certification. Candidates for limited enrollmentprograms must meet all admission eligibility requirements for theprogram and must compete with the eligible applicants for programadmission.

Special StudentsApplicants must file an undergraduate application with the Officeof Admissions and Recruitment (http://admissions.wisc.edu).Education Special students not yet admitted to a professionalprogram are given an EDS classification, are not eligible for financialaid, and enroll last with the other special students on campus.Candidates seeking Special student status in open enrollmentprograms must obtain written permission for admission from therelevant program coordinator and must submit a professionalprogram application to Education Academic Services. Candidatesseeking admission to a limited enrollment program must meetall admission eligibility requirements for the program and mustcompete with other eligible candidates for program admission.Applicants admitted to a certification professional program becomeEducation Certification Special students (EDCS classification) todistinguish them from Special students not so admitted. Studentswith an EDCS classification may be eligible for financial aid.Continuing EDCS students may register with undergraduates havingjunior status.

Second Degree CandidatesStudents who wish to earn a second baccalaureate degree inthe School of Education must file an undergraduate applicationwith the Office of Admissions and Recruitment (http://admissions.wisc.edu) and must file a professional programapplication with Education Academic Services. Second degreestudents not yet admitted to a professional program are given a pre-professional classification. Second degree candidates must:

• be seeking a new major that is substantially different fromtheir previous degree work;

• complete at least 15 upper-level credits in the new major;• complete at least 30 credits beyond their previous

coursework.

The determination of whether a student should be admittedas a second degree candidate or Education Special student ismade by the faculty advisor in consultation with EAS staff afteranalyzing the student's remaining requirements. The faculty advisorwill determine the specific remaining requirements for studentsadmitted to a program. In addition to completing the requirementsspecific to the program(s) of interest, returning students mustalso complete any relevant campus-wide requirements, completethe requirements specific to individual program areas such as theEnvironmental Education requirement, and satisfy any high schooldeficiencies identified at the time of admission to UW–Madison.Students are strongly encouraged to discuss their academic planswith their faculty advisor and must make satisfactory progresstoward program completion - see Satisfactory Progress/Excesscredits for details.

Students seeing a second degree in Kinesiology–Exercise &Movement Science or Athletic Training must complete PSYCH 202Introduction to Psychology as part of the professional programif an equivalent course was not completed during the initialbaccalaureate degree.


REQUIREMENTS

SCHOOL OF EDUCATION LIBERALSTUDIES REQUIREMENTSHOW STUDENTS MEET REQUIREMENTSThe School of Education’s Liberal Studies Requirements automaticallysatisfy most of the University's General Education Requirements,including Ethnic Studies, Humanities/Literature, Social Studies, andScience. Students pursuing most School of Education degree programmay also complete Communication Part B, Quantitative Reasoning PartA, and Quantitative Reasoning Part B through courses required by theirdegree program.

Beginning at Student Orientation and Registration (SOAR), School ofEducation academic advisors help each student determine how they canmeet General Education Requirements while pursuing a specific degreeprogram, or through exploration of a variety of interests. The GeneralEducation and Liberal Studies requirements provide an opportunity todo some academic exploration. If a student cannot complete a GeneralEducation requirement within the curriculum of their chosen School ofEducation program, academic advisors can offer suggestions for coursesthat meet the requirement and augment the student’s primary area ofstudy.

Students with a previous undergraduate degree are not required tocomplete the Liberal Studies coursework.

LIBERAL STUDIES REQUIREMENTSAll students are required to complete a minimum of 40 credits ofLiberal Studies coursework. Most Liberal Studies courses are offeredby academic departments in the College of Letters & Science. Eachcourse is assigned a number of descriptors that provide informationabout its content. For example, a breadth designation indicates whatkind of course it is—a Science course, a Literature course, etc. Leveldesignations describe how advanced the content of a course is inrelation to other courses in the department—Elementary, Intermediate,Advanced, or Intermediate/Advanced level. Course listings in both CourseGuide and Schedule of Classes (Class Search) provide breadth and leveldesignations Click on the course number to obtain this information.Students can also search for courses meeting specific breadth or leveldesignations using either Course Guide and Schedule of Classes (ClassSearch).

and Instruction, Dance, Educational Leadership and PolicyAnalysis, Educational Policy Studies, Educational Psychology,Kinesiology, Rehabilitation Psychology and Special Education,and Theatre and Drama.

• For example, KINES 100 Exercise, Nutrition, andHealth, cannot count toward the Liberal Studiesrequirement even though it is a Biological Sciencecourse. ED PSYCH 320 Human Development in Infancyand Childhood cannot count toward Liberal Studieseven though it is a Social Science course.

• Exceptions include some courses that are cross-listed in departments outside the School of Educationsuch as ED POL/HISTORY 412 History of AmericanEducation. Art and Dance department courses counttoward the Humanities requirement.

• Courses that transfer to UW–Madison as departmentalelectives (e.g., POLI SCI X10) might meet specific LiberalStudies requirements. Students may consult with an advisor inEducation Academic Services to discuss transfer electives thatappear to meet specific course requirements.

• While one course may cover two requirements, students muststill complete both the 40-credit total and the 9-credit minimumrequirements in Humanities, Social Studies (Social Science),and Science.

• For example, THEATRE/ENGL 120 Introduction to Theatreand Dramatic Literature, a Literature course also on the FineArts list, may be used to meet both the specific Fine Artsand Literature requirements of the Humanities area, but atotal of 9 credits of Humanities are still required.

• Courses in other schools/colleges (excluding the School ofEducation) may count as Liberal Studies if they have an L&SCredit Type designation of C and/or assigned a level or breadthdescriptor.

• No Liberal Studies coursework may be taken on a Pass/Failbasis.

GUIDELINES FOR SPECIFIC PROGRAM AREASTeacher Education programs

All teacher education students, except those in music educationor art education, may apply any appropriate coursework from themajor or minor toward the Liberal Studies requirements. Studentsin music and art education are restricted in this overlap. Forstudents in music education, no more than 6 credits of musichistory and no more than 4 art and dance credits may counttoward the 40 total credits. Music history courses (e.g., MUSIC 211Survey of the History of Western Music, MUSIC 212 Survey ofthe History of Western Music) may not be used to meet theU.S./ European History requirement. Art education students mayapply all of the aesthetics credits (usually 14) toward the LiberalStudies requirements, but not courses taken to meet the studiorequirements.

Elementary education students can use a Science course or SocialStudies course from the Environmental Education course listto meet both the Liberal Studies and Environmental Educationrequirements.

Art (BFA and BS)In general, students may not satisfy Liberal Studies requirementswith courses meeting studio or aesthetics requirements. However,

Art–BFA candidates may apply 4 aesthetics elective credits towardthe Humanities credits.

Athletic Training, Kinesiology–Exercise and Movement Science, andPhysical Education

Athletic training, kinesiology–exercise and movement science, andphysical education students will meet the Science requirementby completing their required science courses—e.g., chemistry andphysics.

Communication Sciences and DisordersCommunication sciences and disorders students should consultboth the Liberal Studies requirements and the communicationsciences and disorders program requirements, particularlythe "related courses" section, when selecting Liberal Studiescoursework. Courses may count in both places.

Dance (BFA & BS)Dance and Dance–BFA students must complete ANATOMY 329Human Anatomy-Kinesiology, which will meet both a Sciencerequirement and the Science Laboratory requirement. In general,Liberal Studies requirements cannot be met with courses taken tomeet other program requirements.

Rehabilitation PsychologyIn general, rehabilitation psychology students may not satisfyLiberal Studies requirements with courses taken to meet theRelated Course Requirements in Rehabilitation Psychology.Courses applied toward the other parts of the Rehab Psychrequirements cannot also count toward the 40 Liberal Studiescredits.

RESOURCES

SCHOLARSHIPS/TEACH GRANTSSCHOLARSHIPSThe generosity of alumni and friends has enabled the School ofEducation to distribute more than $500,000 in scholarships andawards annually to deserving undergraduate students. Half of theseare awarded through a school-wide competitive process; the otherhalf are awarded by individual departments and programs. The listof School of Education undergraduate scholarships and honors isavailable at Scholarships@UW–Madison (http://scholarships.wisc.edu/Scholarships).

School of Education scholarships open to applicants in early Februaryand close at the end of March. Scholarship decisions are made inearly June and then communicated to applicants in July. The selectioncriteria for specific scholarships and awards vary and may includeacademic performance, excellence in a specific field or area, potentialas a prospective teacher, leadership ability, personal attributes (suchas returning adult status or home county), and financial need. All


scholarship and award recipients must be in good academic standing inthe School of Education.

Schoolwide scholarships for undergraduates are organized into twocategories. All-School scholarships are open to any student in theSchool of Education. Teacher Education scholarships are designatedfor students seeking teacher certification; most of these are awarded tostudents already admitted to professional teacher education programs.Generous donors have also made it possible to offer many School-widescholarships to recruit and retain underrepresented students interested inhealth, education and the arts.

While many scholarships are awarded, the number of scholarships issubstantially smaller than the number of eligible students.

TEACH GRANTSStudents willing to teach in "high-need" teaching fields can receiveTEACH grants of up to $4,000 per year for a total of $16,000 over theirundergraduate academic career. Officially-designated “high need fields”include Master of Science with Secondary Teaching & ESL Certification,Bilingual Education; Communication Sciences and Disorders; English asa Second Language; Mathematics; Music; Reading Specialist; Sciencecertification areas; Special Education; World Language Educationcertification areas, and any other fields documented as "high-need" bythe federal government and/or state or local education agency (LEA).Elementary Education students completing the Early Childhood/ESL,Middle Childhood-Early Adolescence/ESL or the Middle Childhood-EarlyAdolescence/Special Education program options are also eligible for aTEACH Grant.

Students receiving TEACH grants must complete a service obligation offour years of teaching their high-need subject in a designated low-incomeschool within their first eight years of teaching. "Low-income schools" aredefined as public or private nonprofit elementary or secondary schoolseligible for assistance under Title I of the Elementary and SecondaryEducation Act. In Wisconsin over a thousand schools are designated as"low income."

TEACH grant applicants must attain certain academic eligibility criteria.For example, candidates must have scored minimally above the 75thpercentile on a nationally normed admissions test or have earned a3.25 minimum cumulative grade point average. TEACH grants are notneed-based, so students may receive them without regard to financialbackground. Grant recipients must have completed a Free Application forFederal Student Aid (FAFSA) (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov) to be eligible.

Students should indicate their interest in the TEACH Grant programvia their FAFSA and by completing the program application (http://www.education.wisc.edu/soe/academics/undergraduate-students/scholarships-and-grants).
