Student Confidentiality Statement

The IUS School of Education holds national (NCATE) and state (IPSB) accreditation. Following accreditation standards, all students enrolled in coursework in the IUS School of Education are evaluated on a range of performance-based assessments and informed of progress towards completion of their selected programs. Samples of student work are collected and/or copied for programmatic decision making and accreditation reviews. Student work, referred to as "intellectual property," will not be used for publication or presentation without the student's written consent. Student progress is assessed by contracted designees of the IUS School of Education who could include, but not be limited to, paid and volunteer participants such as campus faculty, K-12 teachers and administrators. The School of Education is charged with maintaining the confidentiality of all information obtained and recorded. For additional clarification, contact the School of Education office.

Admissions of Persons Who Are Not Candidates for Degrees

A student who is not a candidate for a graduate degree in education or for any type of teaching, administration, or supervision license requiring undergraduate or graduate study or both may be admitted to certain graduate courses in education.

A student who wishes to take courses at IUS to transfer to another school for a specific purpose can be admitted as a special graduate student through the School of Education Student Records Office.

1. Any student who wishes to be admitted in any capacity other than in a particular graduate program ("non-program" status) should contact the Student Records Office in the School of Education at (812) 941-2388.
2. Graduate students should contact the Student Financial Assistance office for information on scholarships and grants. At the time of publication, students are required to be in a degree program to qualify for financial aid. Pursuing additional licensing does not qualify.
3. Students in their last undergraduate semester may take graduate courses that may later be applied to a graduate degree when: 1) the undergraduate GPA is 3.0 or higher (exceptions are made in majors where grading is especially stringent), 2) the course work is not applied to an undergraduate degree, and 3) prior approval has been obtained from the graduate studies program coordinator.

Graduate Advising at IU Southeast

Graduate students are strongly encouraged to meet with an advisor to go over program requirements. Please call Student Services at (812) 941-2386. The School of Education also holds several graduate advising sessions per year. For these dates, check the School of Education Web site www.ius.edu/Education.

Changes in program requirements may be approved after an issue of the IUS Bulletin has been published but before the next issue is published. Because students may have to meet these new requirements, they are responsible for seeking regular advising and remaining apprised of program changes, particularly as such changes might affect eligibility for licensing. Admitted students who do not earn credit for course work at IUS during any one-year period may be required to meet the requirements as stated in the IUS Bulletin in effect when they resume their course work at IUS.

Note: New changes in state (Indiana and Kentucky) licensing may affect the program. Please check with your advisor.
