Admission to Teacher Education A student must be admitted to the Teacher Education Program before enrolling in most EDXX courses. To be admitted a student must: be a junior (60 credit hours earned); have minimum THEA scores of 240 reading, 230 math, and 220 writing; have a 2.75 overall GPA and a 2.75 UNT GPA; and be actively enrolled at UNT and have an official degree audit with certification completed in the Student Advising Office. Continuation in the Teacher Education Program is not guaranteed by the admission process.
Professional Field Experience (PFE) Students will participate in a professional field experience during the final two long semesters of their degree/certification program which requires they be available during normal public school hours. Students must meet all pre-requisites to participate in public school field placements. UNT and participating school districts require a criminal history check prior to field experience. Recommendation for Teacher Certificate To be recommended for certification, the student must have been admitted to Teacher Education; successfully completed all required academic courses; successfully completed all required professional field experiences; maintained GPA requirements as stated on his/her audit; and passed the required TExES exams. 2BU
UNT will share your information with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) upon admission to Teacher Education. All communication from the Student Advising Office and TEA will be through your EagleConnect account. Certification is completed by application to TEA at www.tea.state.tx.us. Although the College of Education at the University of North Texas (UNT) recommends the student to TEA, the final authority to confer the teacher certificate remains with the State Board for Education Certification (SBEC). SBEC policy requires that each applicant pass a criminal history check conducted by SBEC before certification is issued. I have been previously admitted to a Teacher Education Program at ____________________________________________. I have read and understand the above statements and I accept the responsibility for completing the described process.
