Students who have earned fewer than 30 credits are classifiedas freshmen; sophomores have earned at least 30 credits, juniors 60 credits, and seniors 90 credits.Grading SystemGrade Meaning of Grades Value in Grade PointsA Outstanding 4B Good 3C Average 2D Passing 1*F Unsatisfactory Work, or Withdrew - Failing 0W Withdrew - Passing (no grade points)AU Course Audited (no degree credit; no grade points)I Required Work Incomplete (no grade points)CR Credit (no grade points)*A grade of “C” or better must be earned in some courses in order to progress to the nexthigher course level, or to graduate in some majors.Academic Regulations55

A student may receive an incomplete, “I,” when, due to unusual circumstancesacceptable to the instructor, the student is unable to complete course requirements prior tothe end of a term. When possible, the option should be discussed by the instructor andstudent, concluding in a written agreement outlining the remaining requirements to besatisfied for the course (use the Incomplete Grade Form available in the academic unitoffice). One copy of this form must be filed at the time final grades for the term aresubmitted with each of the following signatures: course instructor, head of academic unitoffering the course, and the student. A notation of “I” will be posted to the grade report forthe term in which the incomplete is granted and on the academic transcript. An “I” willnot affect term and cumulative credits and grade point averages for the term in which theincomplete is granted and subsequent enrollment terms during the time limit. A studentmay not re-enroll in an incomplete course within the time limit allotted for completing thecourse.The student will have a maximum of one calendar year to satisfy the requirements forthe course. Failure to complete course requirements within one year will automaticallyreplace the incomplete with a grade of “F” with the credits and grade point averagesrecalculated to reflect this change.Except for the grade of “I,” no course grade will be changed unless an error has beenmade. All grades earned will remain on the permanent record. A grade of “D” or “F,” forexample, will remain on a student’s permanent record, even though a higher grade may berecorded for the course in question, after it has been repeated.Grading criteria for specific courses, outlining the basis on which grades are assigned,can be found in course syllabi.Academic ClemencyIn order to provide a second opportunity for undergraduate students who performedpoorly at some point in their studies, the University of Arkansas-Monticello has a policy onacademic clemency. The policy is designed to help former students who have gained a newrespect and commitment to higher education and the career opportunities that come from acollege degree.To be eligible for academic clemency, the student must not have been enrolled in anyinstitution of higher education for a period of five years or more. The student must beenrolled at UAM. The request for clemency must be made within the first semester of thestudent’s enrollment at UAM or the first semester the student is returning to UAM afterbeing absent for a period of five years or more.To be considered for academic clemency, the student must agree in writing to thefollowing stipulations:1. All grades and credits earned in all semesters for which clemency is granted will beforfeited.2. All grades and credits for which clemency is granted will not count in computingGPA or in meeting requirements for graduation.3. The transcript will continue to contain the entire academic record, including thegrade earned for each course. However, a notation will be made showing the semesters forwhich clemency was granted. The credit hours will become zero.4. Academic clemency can be granted only once in an individual’s academic career,and such declaration and granting is final and irreversible.5. In regard to financial history, state and federal regulations take precedence over theinstitutional policy of academic clemency.6. The academic clemency at UAM pertains only to UAM, and other institutions mayor may not honor this policy.In the case of transfer students who have received academic clemency at anotheraccredited college or university, UAM will honor the clemency established at the previousinstitution. UAM will allow academic clemency for work taken at UAM or at anotherinstitution.Students interested in pursuing academic clemency should contact the Office of theRegistrar for the appropriate form and instructions.56Academic Regulations

Based on ACT or SAT scores, students withdevelopmental education needs are placed in one or more courses in reading, English,mathematics, and basic college skills.Students whose enhanced ACT scores in reading, mathematics, or English fall below19 must enroll in appropriate developmental courses: a reading laboratory, a 0-levelmathematics course, or ENGL 0133 Fundamentals of English. Students with low collegeentrance scores in both mathematics and English will be restricted in their first semester toenrolling in a maximum of 14 credit hours which will include the appropriate 0-levelmathematics course, ENGL 0133 Fundamentals of English, and DEV 0101 College Skills.Students should consult their academic advisors to make appropriate course selections tocomplete their class schedule and stay within the 14-hour maximum. Students who havecompleted a college-level course in mathematics or English with a “C” or above may notenroll for credit in a 0-level course in that subject. NOTE: Part-time students will berequired to complete these specified courses during their first 30 hours of course work atthe University.Repetition of CoursesCourses may be repeated a maximum of two times.

After the deadline for registration haspassed, students may not change from audit to credit status.Types of Non-Classroom CreditRecognizing the fact that individuals are often able to learn concepts, skills, andinformation essentially equivalent to college-level learning, yet acquired outside thetraditional college classroom setting, the University offers students the opportunity to earncollege credit through special examination, evaluation, and other procedures. Students mayearn academic credit without letter grades through these procedures by satisfactorilycompleting:1) requirements and examinations in approved correspondence courses;2) approved examinations in the College Entrance Examination Board’s AdvancedPlacement program;3) approved examinations in the College Level Examination Program (CLEP);4) examinations prepared by the appropriate academic unit; and5) assessment of prior military training.A maximum of 60 hours of academic credit may be earned through any combinationof the above programs.

Drawer 3608, Monticello, AR 71656Faculty/MissionProfessors Dillard, Jones, O’Connor, and Terrell; Associate Professors King, Lang,and Richards (Dean); Assistant Professors Hector and C. Smith; Instructors Brackin, Frazer,Garner, and Samons.The University of Arkansas-Monticello School of Education is committed to thedevelopment of high quality teacher leaders who are caring, competent professionalsdedicated to meeting the needs of a changing, diverse society. The UAM School ofEducation faculty and teacher education students serve their communities through activeparticipation in academic studies and field experiences that develop high-level competenciesin content knowledge, pedagogy, professionalism, and equity. The UAM School ofEducation, in close partnership and collaboration with partnering schools and the arts andsciences, is dedicated to providing the highest level of teacher training and excellence insoutheast Arkansas.Title II - Higher Education Act of 1998The University releases information on the quality of its teacher preparation programaccording to the requirements of Section 207 of Title II of the Higher Education Act asamended in 1998. The institutional pass rate on Praxis I and II examinations for candidatesin the teacher preparation program at UAM was 100% for all program completers in the2000-2001 cohort.Conceptual FrameworkThe Conceptual Framework of the School of Education is organized around fourstrands which promote the following in teacher candidates: acquisition of a knowledgebase; development of pedagogical skills; demonstration of equity and social justice; andattainment of professionalism. Because programs within the School of Education targetP-12 student achievement and learning as its critical mission, the academic needs of thelearner are placed at the core of the four strands of the Conceptual Framework. Eachstrand represents an essential component of the teacher education program that is furtherrefined through the identification of indicators of competence within each strand. Realizingthat the acquisition of skills to become an exemplary teacher are developmental andcumulative, the School of Education faculty have identified three stages through whichcandidates progress—Stage One, which is the pre-admission stage of teacher candidacy;Stage Two, during which teacher candidates are admitted to the teacher preparationprogram; and Stage Three, the internship phase of teacher preparation.Education103

Program OfferingsPrograms offered in the School of Education include those leading to teacher licensureand those that do not. Those that do not lead to licensure are Health and PhysicalEducation - Exercise Science Option and a non-licensure program in Health and PhysicalEducation. Both are described later in this section.Programs Leading to Teacher LicensureThe School of Education offers quality programs leading to teacher licensure in earlychildhood special education, middle level education, and health and physical education.Students interested in teaching at the secondary level combine their majors with theSchool’s professional education program to prepare for careers as secondary teachers.Areas of preparation for secondary teaching include English, mathematics, science, socialstudies, and speech.

GraduationStudents are considered program completers of the teacher education program onlyafter ALL criteria listed above are met. Students may not graduate unless they havecompleted all components of the program, including successfully passing all parts of thePraxis I, Praxis II Specialty area examination, and Praxis II Principles of Learning andTeaching.Teacher Education Field Experiences and InternshipsThe teacher education program at the University of Arkansas-Monticello supports theearly involvement of its candidates in field experiences with P-12 students. Field experiencesare sequenced, developmental, and focused on the practical application of contentcovered in education classes. Most students complete approximately 180 hours offieldwork prior to their year-long senior year internship. During the internship, studentscomplete 600 hours of clinical, supervised teaching, for a total of approximately 780 hoursacross the total teacher preparation program.Matriculating Through the Teacher Preparation ProgramThe teacher preparation program is comprised of three important components. Thefirst component is general education. All students at UAM complete the general educationrequirements which provide a solid foundation for study that will occur in later courses.These courses are usually completed in the first two years. Secondly, all teacher educationstudents complete the professional education core, regardless of their major. These coursesare completed throughout the program, beginning in the first year of enrollment, andprepare the student for the basics of teaching and learning. Thirdly, students preparing tobecome teachers will complete specific course work in their major area that will preparethem for teacher licensure.The teacher preparation program at UAM is subject to Arkansas Department ofEducation requirements. Please check with the School of Education for specific, updatedcourses needed to meet state licensure requirements for teaching.General Education Requirements for Prospective TeachersStudents majoring or minoring in education and seeking teacher licensure mustcomplete the following general education requirements with noted exceptions.Total hours: ...................................................................................................................... 50-53 hoursENGL 1013 Composition IENGL 1023 Composition IIOne of the following:SPCH 1023 Public Speaking orSPCH 2283 Business and Professional SpeechOne of the following:ART 1053 Art Appreciation orMUS 1113 Music AppreciationOne of the following pairs of courses:HIST 1013 Survey of Civilization I andENGL 2283 Survey of World Literature IorHIST 1023 Survey of Civilization II andENGL 2293 Survey of World Literature IIHumanities Elective:To be chosen from ART, MUS, ENGL, PHIL, or foreign language (3 hours)PSY 1013 Introduction to PsychologySOC 3453 Race and Ethnic RelationsPSCI 2213 American National GovernmentEducation105

Successful accomplishment of this mission willpromote and enhance management, conservation and appreciation of public and privateforests, thereby providing for continuous production and optimum attainment of a varietyof forest resources for the people of Arkansas, the South and the nation. These resourcebenefits include the production of wood and fiber, wildlife, and clean water, as well asprovision for recreation, aesthetic and other important values.Accordingly, the School’s educational objectives are:1. To educate baccalaureate-level professionals in forestry, spatial informationsystems, and wildlife management, with both the professional competence and diversity ofbackground to assume positions with a variety of resource management organizations,such as private industry, private consulting firms, or public agencies; furthermore, toprovide an educational and professional basis for successful work performance and forassuming increasing administrative and managerial responsibilities to the middlemanagement level and beyond.2. To afford students the option of a two-year degree in land surveying technology.3. To provide graduate-level educational opportunities in natural resources management.4. To provide students the opportunity to acquire the professional and academiccompetence in forestry, spatial information systems, or wildlife necessary to be nationallycompetitive in graduate studies.5. To foster general education, a professional curriculum, and a collegiate environmentthat attracts and retains academically strong and professionally motivated students.6. To promote an educational environment in which a strong orientation towardacademic performance is encouraged, and where a dedication to the profession and itsethics is developed.Forest Resources115

In addition, the School’s other professional objectives are:1. To support research programs at both the basic and applied levels that contribute tothe body of knowledge in forestry, wildlife management, related natural resources, andspatial information systems, and which address the professional, scientific, and socialneeds of the forestry and natural resources communities in the state, the region, and thenation.2. To maintain a program of extension and public service that transmits new andestablished knowledge and technology to appropriate clientele through workshops,seminars, symposia, continuing education programs, and publications.The School offers three baccalaureate (B.A.) programs: Forestry, Spatial InformationSystems (SIS), and Wildlife Management. No minor is required in these majors. In all threemajors the first two years of course work emphasize general education in the sciences andhumanities. Courses in the junior and senior years emphasize various aspects of professionaleducation. In addition, the School offers a two-year Associate of Science (A.S.)degree track in Land Surveying Technology. Surveying licensure is available to both SISand Land Surveying graduates.MajorsIn the Forestry major, students are given a balance of general and professional coursework. General course work includes both the General Education sequence and 12 hours offree electives. The professional sequence consists of a forestry core curriculum and a blockof supportive requirements. A major component of the forestry core curriculum is therequired 8-week Forestry Summer Camp, an outdoor experience that enhances thestudent’s leadership skills, decision-making abilities, and other professional expertise. TheForestry major is accredited by the Society of American Foresters.The Spatial Information Systems (SIS) major is designed to provide students with amix of general education, geographic information systems, remote sensing, globalpositioning systems, photogrammetry, and land surveying. Students who graduate withthe SIS degree are well prepared to enter professions in the rapidly emerging SIS field or tofurther their graduate education. In addition to natural resources management, SISprovides students the opportunity to apply their skills in a broad range of professions suchas municipal planning, agriculture, and aerospace.The Wildlife Management major is a professional program designed to give students abroad scientific background for management and perpetuation of wildlife resources. Thecurriculum emphasizes basic and applied sciences, the social sciences, and development ofcommunication skills. This educational foundation serves students who plan to enter thewildlife profession with the baccalaureate degree, or those who plan to continue theireducation at the graduate level. Through appropriate selection of courses in consultationwith their advisor, students can satisfy course work requirements for professionalcertification by The Wildlife Society.MinorsMinors in forestry, geographic information systems (GIS), natural resources, landsurveying, and wildlife management are available to UAM students, including those in theSchool of Forest Resources.
