Student
Academic Services is located at 144 Withers in the Richard W. Riley
College of Education. This
office is responsible for assisting students in their planning and
academic needs. Some of the
main responsibilities of Student Academic Services are to communicate
with all College of Education students by producing a calendar of
important dates at the beginning of each semester, and maintaining
all current information related to the Teacher Education Program on
bulletin boards and the video bulletin board housed in Withers.
Student Academic Services also maintains data on students in the Teacher
Education Program, works with those students seeking admission to the
Teacher Education Program, coordinates the implementation of ADEPT as
outlined by state legislation, handles all field placements for the more
than 600 students who are placed in agencies and public school
environments each semester, coordinates all advising for College of
Education students, and assists with certification paperwork for those
applying for certification in South Carolina and in other states.

Admission fee to the
Teacher Education Program will increase to $200.00 effective
July 1, 2008. (Students who submit complete applications
to the on-line admission system prior to July 1,
2008 will be assessed $100.00 upon admission).
A 3 hour course currently
costs $1278. With the summer
tuition reduction, the cost of a summer course will be
$855. The savings on a 3
hour course is $423 or 33%.
An additional PRAXIS II testing
opportunity will be available on the Winthrop campus on
Saturday, July 26, 2008 in Kinard.
Please visit
www.ets.org to register.
PRAXIS “standby” registration
(which allowed potential test-takers to show up
unannounced hoping for an empty
seat) no longer exists. Instead, potential test-takers are
required to complete the “emergency registration” process, which
begins at the close of late registration and ends on the Friday
of the week prior to the test date.
In other words, anyone who wants
to take the test MUST be registered a week and a day ahead of
the test!
