Late Submission Policy
Student Teachers who do not submit the edTPA by the deadline will receive an Incomplete in EDU 563 or EDU 567 and risk a delay in the processing of their credentials. Also, it has been the case that the longer Student Teachers delay their edTPA, the less likely they will finish it at all.
That stated, there are several valid reasons why a Student Teacher might need to delay their edTPA submission. These reasons include but are not limited to:
- ●Family emergency
- ●Medical emergency (substantiated by a doctor’s notice)
- ●Need for learner accommodations - an Authorized Academic Accommodations form needs to be provided to the University Supervisor and/or seminar instructor outlining the required accommodations prior to the deadline).
- ●School site issues beyond the control of the Student Teacher
In these cases, Student Teachers must make a written request to the Program Director, College of Education for an extension prior to the deadline. Approval for the extension will be provided in writing.
