7. GPA IS VERY IMPORTANT! Please take your grades seriously!
There are two cumulative GPA checkpoints in the Elementary Education program:
Students need a 2.75 cumulative GPA for these classes:
EDF 370, EDEL 350, and PSY 347
(2) a 3.0 cumulative GPA for your last two semesters which
include your second Practicum and Student Teaching
The more credits you accumulate, the harder it is to raise your GPA with a semester of classes
The most practical, efficient, and least stressful strategy is to earn a 3.0 cumulative GPA early in your college career and maintain it throughout your studies
