Policies applying to transfer students. The credits transferred from
other colleges and universities are used to determine the classification
of a student as freshman, sophomore, etc. Transfer credits are not
used, however, in computing the UW-Eau Claire resident GPA which
determines the students academic standing in subsequent semesters at
UW-Eau Claire (See also GPA, under Graduation Requirements).
A transfer student admitted in good standing is governed by the
policies set forth under Academic Standing and Progress.
A transfer student admitted on probation will be removed from
probation if in the first semester at UW-Eau Claire the student achieves
good academic standing. Thereafter the students status is determined on
the same basis as that of a student who was admitted in good standing
and who has received an Academic Warning at UW-Eau Claire.
A transfer student admitted on probation will be suspended at the
end of the first semester at UW-Eau Claire if at that time the student has
failed to achieve good academic standing.
Policies applying to freshmen admitted on probation. A freshman
admitted on probation will be removed from probation if in the first
semester at UW-Eau Claire the student achieves good academic standing.
Thereafter the students status is determined on the same basis as that
of a student admitted in good standing.
A freshman admitted on probation will be suspended at the end of the
first semester if at that time the student has not achieved good academic
standing.

English Language, introduces students to the formal study of language,
including grammar, history of the English language, and language
acquisition, thereby providing students with a strong basis for their
work in the discipline. English 284, Introduction to Theory and Criticism,
provides a broadly conceived understanding of theory and criticism,
and introduces students to the practice of self-reflectively theorizing
and critiquing within the field of English. The major is designed to give
students a common core as well as some depth of study in an emphasis.
Students deepen their study of English through intermediate coursework
and senior-level workshops or seminars in their specific area of emphasis.
In these senior-level seminars and workshops, students are provided
with the opportunity to integrate their previous learning by producing
a major research or creative project in the field of English. In addition to
sharing information and ideas, English courses bring students together
in a community with both shared and diverse learning goals.
Students can supplement their classroom experience while
promoting the English Language Arts by serving as tutors in the English
Writing Center, as mentors in First Year Experiences sections of courses,
as writing interns at area businesses, and as members of Sigma Tau
Delta (the English Honor Society), NOTA (the UW-Eau Claire creative
arts organization), or the English Festival student organization.
Each spring the department sponsors a student-organized festival
to promote and celebrate the English Language Arts. In their final or
next-to-final semester, students finish their major by presenting a work
of their choice at the spring English Festival or the Winterfest, and
participate in an exit interview.
The English Department also offers four minors and many courses
that meet University General Education requirements.

Wisconsin Application
A graduate desiring a license to teach in Wisconsin may obtain the
Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) application form
from the DPI Web site at www.dpi.state.wi.us/tepdl/applications.
Upon completion of all items appropriate to certification desired,
the application and a check or money order payable to the Wisconsin
Department of Public Instruction should be returned to the Field
Experience and Certification office, Brewer 151. When the completion of
all licensure criteria has been verified, the application will be endorsed
by the certification or assistant certification officer who serves as the
institutions representative to DPI. The endorsed application and the
fee will be forwarded to DPI. The initial license issued will be valid for
five years and will be sent by DPI directly to the applicant.
Out-of-state Applications
It is recommended that graduates seeking licensure to teach in states
other than Wisconsin request application forms and instructions from
the Department of Education of the state in which licensure is desired.
Inquiry early in the period of professional preparation is advisable.
In most cases, an official transcript of credits must accompany the
completed application form; additional tests or coursework may be
required. Therefore, it is imperative to check requirements of other
states. A helpful Web site to obtain requirements of other states is www.
uky.edu/education/tep/usacert.html. Wisconsin, and most other
states, require institutional endorsement. In general, candidates will be
able to obtain licenses in other states.
