Student responsibilities
As students, it is your responsibility to check with the University Book Store and the Copy Center to determine whether there are course materials available for your class. In addition, it is expected that you download additional course materials via Blackboard (BB) and electronic library course reserves. Faculty who wish for you to download materials from Blackboard prior to the first class will inform you of the BB course access code via email prior to the first day of class.
Please make it a habit to check BB, email and course reserves regularly during the quarter for updates in course materials. Obtaining and utilizing all the required materials will contribute to your success in your classes. We appreciate your cooperation in working with the program to streamline course communication and document distribution.
Proof of immunization
All enrolled students are required to provide proof of measles (rubeola) immunity. Students will not be allowed to register for any classes until the UW Tacoma Registrar's Office confirms that they have satisfied this requirement. Students born before 01/01/57 are considered to be immune to measles and therefore do NOT need to submit proof of immunity.
Policies and procedures
Students are responsible for knowing policies and procedures as outlined by the Graduate School, the Education Program, and the University of Washington Tacoma.
On-leave status
On-leave policy: Students will be required to complete an on-leave form and pay the fee for EACH quarter they wish to be on leave. Continue to check here for updated information: Graduate On Leave Status
Reinstatement fee: If a student becomes inactive (does not go on-leave and does not register for any given quarter) and wishes to enroll in a future quarter, there will be a $250 reinstatement fee.
Retention and dismissal policy: The retention and dismissal policy of the University of Washington Tacoma Education program outlines the policy and procedures regarding review for low scholarship and satisfactory progress for all students enrolled in the Education program. Academic standards and satisfactory progress are outlined separately for all M. Ed. students except for specific modifications outlined for students enrolled in the Teacher Certification program (TCP) and for those students enrolled in the Educational Administrator program. All students regardless of program are expected to meet Standards for Essential Abilities and Dispositions for Admission and Continuance in the Education Program of the University of Washington Tacoma.
