2017–18 Graduate Academic Catalog Page 35 School of Education Faculty Program Completion Requirements Students seeking the Reading Endorsement must fulfill the following: Complete 16 semester hours as specified in the endorsement program design in good academic standing. A minimum of 11 semester hours of the course requirements must be taken from Cedarville University. Maintain the following grade performance standards: • Sustain an overall cumulative grade point average of not less than 3.0. • Complete all requirements for the endorsement within seven years after matriculation in the program. Courses completed more than seven years prior to the date of completion cannot be used to meet completion requirements without written approval from the School of Education. Requests for such permission must provide explicit evidence that satisfies two criteria: • The evidence must demonstrate that the content of these out-of-date courses is still a viable part of the student’s graduate program, and • The evidence must demonstrate how the student has kept up-to-date with current content in those courses. Extension of the time to complete the endorsement requirements will be granted rarely and only if steady progress toward the endorsement is evident AND if there are clearly extenuating circumstances beyond control of the student.
