After completing further, program-specific requirements, students may be admitted to the Teacher Education Program (TEP). Admission to TEP is competitive; meeting minimum admission requirements is necessary but not always sufficient for admission. Late applications are considered on a space-available basis.

Students are required to submit an online application by October 1 to start authorized professional education courses during the spring semester or March 1 to start authorized professional education courses during the fall semester.

All applicants must demonstrate satisfactory basic academic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics.  These skills are assessed in one of three ways:

• Composite scores on the ACT of 24 greater combining mathematics, reading, grammar and science (MA+RE+EN+SR divided by 4 = 24+); 
• SAT score of 1100 or greater if taken prior to March 1, 2016 or 1170 or greater if taken on or after March 1, 2016 based on critical reading and mathematics (VE+MS = 1100+); or 
• Scores on the Indiana CORE Academic Skills Assessment (CASA) tests at or above 220 for each test (reading, mathematics and writing). Registration for the CASA can be completed at Indiana Core Assessments for Educator Licensure.
