EDU101TransferMajor

To transfer from your current major to Secondary/Middle Education, you must meet the following requirements that have been set by the department:
 * GPA of 2.5 or better
 * Proof of passing 3 [|Praxis I tests] according to guidelines set by the State of Maine (have ETS send the scores to UMF, but you should also provide a copy of the scores you received)
 * A grade of C or better in English composition

To apply for a transfer, turn in the following (all attached together) to Kristin Hickey in Education Center 219 by the deadline:
 * a change of major form
 * a copy of your passing Praxis I scores
 * a brief essay about yourself and your experiences with school-aged children (if applicable)

Deadlines:
 * October 1st for the following spring semester
 * March 1st for the following fall semester

All requirements apply to all students

effective date: 3/8/2006

NOTE: After being accepted into the program, most transfer students (people who changed their major) do not get into Practicum the first semester they're in the program. For example, if you apply to transfer into the Secondary/Middle Education major by the March 1, 2008 deadline and are accepted for fall 2008, you will likely not be able to get into Practicum until spring 2009 or even fall 2009.
