1. Admission to degree and diploma programs within the Faculty of Education is limited, selective and highly competitive. Meeting minimum admission requirements does not guarantee acceptance to a program. The Faculty reserves the right to limit the number of spaces available in each program. When the number of eligible applicants exceeds the number of spaces available in a particular program, preference may be given to applicants who are permanent residents of Newfoundland and Labrador.

2. At least three positions per year are available in Education programs for applicants of Aboriginal ancestry who have met the admission requirements. Applicants must submit a letter of request with the Faculty application and provide documentation of Aboriginal ancestry.

4. Admission to programs within the Faculty of Education is determined by a Selections Committee and is based on the criteria listed for each degree/diploma program. An applicant who is completing courses at this or another institution and for whom final and complete transcripts are not yet available may be granted provisional acceptance to the program to which the applicant is applying pending the receipt of final transcripts. This provisional acceptance will remain valid until final transcripts are received. Deadline for receipt of final transcripts is June 15th. A provisionally accepted applicant may be granted a final acceptance upon review of the final transcript by the Selections Committee. The Faculty reserves the right to deny admission to an applicant who, in the opinion of the Selections Committee, is deemed unsuitable for admission to a program.

5. A student who has been admitted to a program in the Faculty of Education requiring a teaching internship is advised that the student may be assigned to any Provincial school district and is responsible for all travel and accommodation costs associated therewith.

6. A student who has been admitted to a particular degree program offered by the Faculty of Education and who wishes to change to another degree program within the Faculty must submit a new Faculty application online within Memorial Self-Service at www5.manchu/admit/twbkwbis.P_WWWLogin that will be considered in competition with other applicants.

7. In special circumstances, the Committee on Undergraduate Studies, on recommendation from the Admissions Committee may, at its discretion, consider an applicant or group of applicants as an exception to the requirements.

8. A student who declines an offer of admission to the Faculty of Education, withdraws from the program, or who does not register for courses in at least one of the three semesters following admission must, if the student wishes to be subsequently considered for admission, submit a new application in competition with other applicants.

9. An unsuccessful applicant has the right to appeal the decision of the Admissions Committee not to offer the applicant a place, if it is felt by the applicant that the decision was reached on grounds other than those specified under the Admission/Readmission Regulations for the Faculty of Education. The appeal should be made in writing within twenty-one days of the notification of the decision and should be directed to the Dean of Education. The letter should state clearly and fully the grounds for the appeal. If the Dean of Education, in consultation with the Registrar, judges the grounds to be sufficient, the formal appeals mechanism will be initiated. Normally, appeals will only be considered in the case of procedural error and/or receipt of new information that is relevant to the application. An applicant is advised to refer to UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS - General Academic Regulations (Undergraduate) - Appeal of Decisions section of the University Calendar.

10. The Faculty of Education does not require criminal record checks or other screening procedures as a condition of admission to programs. A student should, however, be aware that such record checks or other screening procedures are required by school districts/schools that host education students. Such agencies will not accept a student without a clear criminal record check or other screening procedure, which would prevent the student from completing a required component of the program. As a result, such a student may not be eligible for promotion or graduation.

    It is the responsibility of the student to have such procedures completed as required and at the student's own expense. The Faculty of Education expects a student to provide evidence of a clear criminal record check before the student is assigned to a school.

    The screening procedures of any given agency may change from time to time and are beyond the control of the University.

11. The letter of acceptance to the Bachelor of Education (Intermediate/Secondary), Bachelor of Education (Intermediate/Secondary) Conjoint with the Diploma in Technology Education, Bachelor of Music Education as a Second Degree, Bachelor of Education (Primary/Elementary) as a Second Degree, Bachelor of Education (Primary/Elementary) as a Second Degree Conjoint with Certificate in STEM Education, and Bachelor of Education (Post-Secondary) as a Second Degree will give the successful applicant 14 days from the date of the letter of notification in which to confirm acceptance of the placement offer. The signed Accept/Decline Form indicating acceptance of the offer must be accompanied by a deposit of $150 which will be credited towards tuition fees. The deposit will be forfeited if the applicant subsequently declines the offer or fails to register. If no reply is received within 14 days, the offer by the Faculty will be withdrawn and the applicant will be informed of this by letter.

12. Transfer credit cannot be awarded for either Education 3600 or Education 3650.
