Policy Statement

A student may be granted provisional admission status into an Educator Preparation program with one minor deficiency. With all other requirements met, a minor deficiency is defined as:

  • not passing one of the three parts of the PRAXIS Core Academic Skills test (by just a few points), or
  • having a cumulative GPA of 2.70 to 2.74.

Policy Procedures

This status must be approved unanimously by the Moore School of Education faculty members. Under such a status, provisional students will be allowed to preregister for a maximum of two 300-level education courses. Provisionary status is valid only for one semester, during which, the deficiency must be overcome. Students are unable to take additional 300-level education courses until they meet the admission requirements.


Failure to follow this policy may lead to disciplinary action.
