Education
Students who wish to enter the teacher certification track must show evidence of: 1. Completion of 48 undergraduate credits including two math courses and two English courses, including one in literature and one in writing. 2. A passing score on The Praxis Tests. These should be taken in the second year of college. 3. Meeting the minimum required GPA (see current Ed. Handbook for specific requirements).

Social Work
Students interested in majoring in social work must apply for admission to the department during the spring semester of their sophomore year. Upon application, students will be required to evaluate themselves and will also be evaluated by the social work faculty. Students are encouraged to seek employment or volunteer opportunities in social service agencies before applying to the department.

At the post-secondary level, pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974( FERPA) and university policy, parents have no inherent rights to inspect your academic records. Parents, or guardians, who request information from your student records must complete an access form and mail, fax, or bring in copies of the first two pages of the income tax record. In order to streamline this process, the Office of the Registrar has a Student Permission form that will allow you to grant access to your academic records. This can include but is not limited to discussions with campus personnel regarding course work in progress, grades, financial aid information, tuition and fee status, and copies of and conversations about other information from your academic record. The completed form will be on file in the Office of the Registrar, unless you revoke this permission.

Eastern University will verify the following directory information to inquirers: name, campus e-mail address, dates of attendance, registration status, class, previous educational institutions attended, major field of study, awards, honors, and degree(s) conferred.

A student with fewer than 60 earned credits may propose an individualized major leading to the Bachelor of Arts. The individualized major must be developed with and sponsored by a full-time Eastern faculty member, who will then serve as the student’s faculty advisor. The major must focus on a central theme not expressed in existing majors; draw from several disciplines; range in credits from 33 to 60; include at least one-third of the credits in 300 and 400-level courses; include at least one-half of the credits from Eastern's course catalog; and include a culminating project, thesis or seminar.

The proposed curriculum and justification for the individualized major should be submitted in electronic form (e-mail) by the faculty sponsor to the Registrar (worksheet/format available for download on the Office of the Registrar website or pick-up in the office). The Registrar will review the proposal, add comments and forward to the division chair for action.

* General Education Requirements are determined by the year the student enters EU

* Major Requirements are determined by the year the student declares his/her major
These requirements will be reflected on the student’s online degree audit. This form should serve as the primary guide for course selection.

College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Course Equivalencies

CLEP testing is explained in the college catalog. Students should go online to www.collegeboard.com and look at the CLEP subject tests that the Educational Testing Service has devised. Each CLEP test is designed to test knowledge on a basic college course. A successful score is 50. Score reports must be sent to Eastern University (code 2220) for college credit to be awarded. Credit for the CLEP test is posted on the student's Eastern transcript and the course is considered fulfilled.

Instructors are expected to file grades within two (2) weeks of the completion of the course. You may access your grades through myEastern.

You may drop your course(s) by logging into your MyEastern. Our Guide to Dropping, Withdrawing, and Troubleshooting will will walk you through the drop process. 

At the top of the printable degree audit, each student's ID number, name and major are listed. The next line identifies the student's advisor. Students must contact advisor before registration to identify and approve courses for next semester. Advisor's signature on registration form is required. A comment section is next. This may contain a statement that an advising major is attached (Major for advising only. Must be formally declared), that a minor has been declared, and that courses at another college have been approved (App Crsw Elsw: BCCC: PSY100--S104).

Your scheduled ON LINE Registration beginning time is based upon the number of credits that you have previously EARNED (does not include current semester). Check your Registration Guide for when you can register based on your credits earned.

You can visit myEastern and view your academic record to obtain the most up to date credit status.

The course add period ends one week after the beginning of classes. We do this to ensure student success within a course. There is a lower rate of success for students that add a class after the first week. Drop requests can be made through the second week of the semester, by completing an Add/Drop Form, available in the Registrar’s Office and on our Forms page. While you cannot normally drop a class after the second week, you can withdraw from a course with no academic penalty up until a certain date (check academic calendar). Requests for a withdrawal should be submitted via our request form, available in the Registrar’s Office and on our Forms page.

Students may withdraw without academic penalty from a class until the 10th week of the fall/spring semester (2/3 through the semester). In order to withdraw from a course you may pick-up a form at the Registrar's Office or on the website (http://www.eastern.edu/offices-centers/office-registrar) and then have your advisor sign it. Please note that if you withdraw from a class it may affect your Satisfactory Academic Progress for financial aid. So, before dropping the class, stop by the Office of Financial Aid to make sure that there is no impact on aid for the next year (not current year). Please see the University Catalog for more details and refund information.

To withdraw completely from Eastern University, students must submit the Exit Interview Form online. Once a student submits the form, the Registrar's Office will review the information entered and remove the student from courses and/or the University at the requested time.

Before submitting the form, students should speak with the Student Accounts Office, and if applicable, the Financial Aid Office, to understand how the exit will affect their billing and aid. Immediately after submitting the form, resident students should contact their Resident Director (RD) or the Housing Coordinator to discuss their exit from housing.

Contact the faculty member with whom you hope to do the Directed study or Individualized Instruction. The Directed Study/Individualized Instruction form is available on the Registrar's webpage and requires signatures of the instructor, department chair/program director and dean. You may not register for these courses on line.

A properly qualified student may attend a class as an auditor with the permission of the instructor and the Registrar. An auditor is primarily an observer and may not take examinations in the course. No credit is granted for auditing a course. Full-time students may audit the course without charge. Once a course has been officially audited, however, it may not be retaken for credit and a grade.  See the University Catalog for more details.

Add/Drop
1. Pass/Fail. (faculty directed). Some courses are given only on Pass-Fail basis and are graded P/F by faculty action. An earned grade of P will give the student credit for the course but will not calculate in the student’s GPA. However, an earned F affects the student’s GPA average like any other F.

2. Pass/No Credit Option. (student directed). Students are allowed to use the pass/no credit option under the following conditions:

1. No more than four courses can be evaluated using this option. These courses must be true electives. Therefore, they cannot be used to meet general education requirements, major, or area of concentration requirements.
2. This option may be elected in only one course in a given semester.
3. Although a P or a NC will be recorded on the student’s record, neither will affect their average GPA.
4. Hours graded P will be counted as hours earned toward graduation. Hours graded NC will not count as hours earned, nor will they count as hours attempted.
5. This option may be added or dropped ONLY during the first week of the semester.

The Language Competency is described in the college catalog in the General Education section.  Any student earning a BA or BSW must fulfill the Language requirement of our liberal arts college.

Students may cross register for affiliate college courses through the Eastern University Registrar’s Office by submitting an Affiliate College Registration Form (available for pick-up or on our Forms page). Students should check the Registrar websites of the affiliate colleges to determine what courses are available. For further assistance, contact Brian Minster at brian.minster@eastern.edu.

All undergraduate departments may offer Field Experience 395 and Internship 495, but you must have approval to register. Field experience is offered for 1-3 credits and is graded Pass/Fail.
