Admission & Registration
The Teacher Leader Program is a planned master's degree level program designed to be completed within three years, including summers, with forty-eight (48) quarter hours of graduate-level work beyond the bachelor's degree. Each student is required to complete a professional portfolio as part of his/her exit requirements for the program. Previous graduate-level coursework will be evaluated and accepted as course substitutions when appropriate. This program is designed for teachers who plan to remain in the classroom. Upon completion of the program, students receive a Master's inEducation (M.Ed.). In many instances, Teacher Leader Program graduates can apply for tenure in their school districts. Students who desire an administrative license as a supervisor, principal, or superintendent may take additional courses upon completion of the Teacher Leader Program to attain their goals.
Registration Procedures
The Teacher Leader office will notify students regarding which class to register for the following quarter, but responsibility for proper registration rests with the individual student.

Each quarter, the Teacher Leader Program sends letters to students informing them of which class they will be taking during the next quarter. If students do not wish to register for this class, they simply do not register. Otherwise, the students should register for the indicated class. It is the studentÕs responsibility to register. This may be done by calling Raider Express.
The Registrar will send a bill for all students whose registrations were successfully processed before the end of the pre-registration period. If you do not receive a bill, contact the RegistrarÕs Office to determine the reason this occurred.

Admission Requirements
The Teacher Leader Program must adhere to Wright State University's (WSU) policies regarding admission to the program. Therefore, the following admissions requirements are consistent with those set forth by the School of Graduate Studies.

Required Information:
In order to be fully admitted into the School of Graduate Studies, the following must be completed:

a) a degree application
b) statement of goals and objectives (located on back of degree application)
c) all application fees paid
d) official transcripts from all undergraduate* universities listed on the application (list only undergraduate universities on the application)
e) official test scores** from either the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) or the General Record Exam (GRE) - No testing needed if undergraduate GPA is 3.0 or above

Admission Procedures
1. Complete the application for Admission to Graduate Status. The program name is "Curriculum and Supervision: Teacher Leader" and the program major/concentration is number "291". Be certain the statement of goals and objectives is completed (located on the back of the application form).
2. Include the $25 processing fee (If you have previously taken graduate level courses at WSU, your fee will be $15). Contact the School of Graduate Studies to confirm your status for application fees (937) 775-2976 or (800) 452-4723.
3. Provide official transcripts from each university listed on your application. The Teacher Leader Office suggests you list only your undergraduate institution(s) for the initial application process. If at a later date you decide with your academic advisor that other graduate courses will be applicable, the appropriate transcripts may be ordered and applied to your Program of Study. This will speed up your admission process.
4. Have your MAT or GRE test scores sent to WSU School of Graduate Studies. For information concerning test dates, costs, and registration procedures, please call Testing Services at (937) 775-5771.

Those students who do not meet the minimum required grade point average or the minimum required score on the MAT/GRE test may petition for admission. To request a petition for admission, please contact the School of Graduate Studies at (937) 775-2976 or (800) 452-4723.

Provisional Admission
Under certain conditions, a student may be admitted provisionally (i.e., for ONE quarter only), pending receipt of credentials. If admission requirements are not met during the quarter in which a student was admitted provisionally, registration for future quarters will be denied and the student could lose graduate credit for any graduate courses completed during the quarter (Wright State University Catalog 1998-2000, p. 36).
        When students are granted provisional admission, they are sent a Memorandum of Understanding. The Memorandum lists all required components for full admission. To acknowledge receipt, sign and return the letter to the School of Graduate Studies. Fulfill the requirements listed in the Memorandum before the completion of the indicated quarter.

Conditional Admission
The student who does not meet the admission requirements for regular status, or who has conditions placed on his or her admission by an academic program, is admitted to a degree program in "conditional" status. Graduate credit earned while in this status will apply toward degree requirements. If all admission requirements are satisfied and the student has completed the first 12 hours of graduate credit, after being admitted into this status, with a 3.0 (a grade equivalent of a B) cumulative grade point average, regular status will be granted upon approval of the graduate program. A student who does not meet these conditions will be dismissed from the School of Graduate Studies (Wright State University Graduate Catalog 1998-2000, p. 36).
