Praxis

Candidates must pass all of their relevant Praxis exams by mid-semester of the semester before student teaching. Candidates are encouraged to take their required Praxis exams prior to the beginning of their senior year (2 semesters before they begin student teaching). This allows for time to retake any exams that are not passed initially. In some cases, Praxis exams are only offered once or twice a semester.

Those who have not passed their Praxis exams by the deadline should plan to complete their student teaching in a subsequent semester. Those with extenuating circumstances can complete a petition with the Dean of Teacher Preparation Programs (see Petition to Student Teach without Having Met the Requirements).
