Advisor Meeting

All candidates applying for residency are required to attend their regular advising meeting (applications can be submitted prior to the meeting). 

Candidates should schedule a meeting with their advisor to address the following:

• Praxis Requirements and Praxis Progress Updates.

• Map out courses for Residency I and Residency II.

• Complete the advisor checklist.

• Complete and sign a Residency registration form that includes all courses to be taken in the upcoming residency semester.
  *During Residency I Candidates should schedule an appointment with their advisor during the advising period in order to complete a registration form for Residency II courses.

Note: The background check required for Residency is different from the background check completed prior to conducting level Clinical Experiences in EDUC 250 or EDUC 312. The state and school districts require a higher level of background check in order for candidates to be placed in a school for an entire semester. 

You may also be required to complete a background check through the school district where you are placed. Someone from the district will let you know if this is the case.
