Repeating Courses

A grade point average of at least 2.75 is required in all professional education courses.  Students also must maintain a 2.75 GPA or better in all courses required for the major, including courses required for areas of concentration in middle grades and for certification in secondary and special subjects (P-12).

Students must earn a minimum of a "C" in all required courses for certification.  Students may repeat no more than two (2) such courses.  If a student receives less than a "C" in more than two (2) education courses, the student will be dismissed from the Teacher Education Program.  A teacher education course may be repeated only one time.

In graduate-level programs, including the Masters of Arts in Teaching program, candidates must earn a B or higher in all courses.  A candidate may repeat an education course only one time and no student may repeat more than two courses in his/her program at Mercer.  A certificaiton candidate may not re-take an equivalent class at another college in order to replace a grade earned at Mercer.
