All students are subject to the academic policies specified in the University Registrar’s section of the Undergraduate Record titled “University Regulations.” In addition, students must follow the policies of the Curry School of Education and Human Development. Students in the five-year Teacher Education Program should consult the regulations in their undergraduate school of enrollment section, as well as those of the Curry School of Education and Human Development.
Application to the Curry School
There are multiple ways that students can engage in the Curry School of Education and Human Development. Although any student in the university community is welcome to take courses in the Curry School, students who wish to obtain a degree should apply to one of the following programs by the end of their second year.
Teacher Education
Effective August 1, 2019, students applying to the Elementary Education, Special Education, or Early Childhood education major must submit the Curry Undergraduate application for admission by February 1 of their first or second year.
Speech Communication Disorders
Those who wish to apply to the speech communication disorders major must submit the Curry Undergraduate application for admission by February 1 of their second year.
Kinesiology
Students interested in the kinesiology major must apply for admission through the University’s Office of Undergraduate Admission (http://www.admission.virginia.edu/). Depending on space in the kinesiology major, students may apply for internal transfer by submitting the Curry Undergraduate application by February 1 of their first or second years.
Youth and Social Innovation
Those who wish to apply to the youth and social innovation major must submit the Curry Undergraduate application for admission by February 1 of their first or second years.
Residence Requirement
A recipient of a B.S.Ed. degree from the Curry School must have completed at least 60 hours at the University of Virginia while enrolled in the Curry School of Education and Human Development. Exceptions for emergency situations require approvals from a student’s advisor, program coordinator, and Curry’s academic dean. The last year of candidacy must be spent at this University, and all courses offered in the major for the degree must be completed at the University unless written permission is obtained from the associate dean for academic programs.
Each student is assigned an academic advisor who is a faculty member in the major. The student is required to meet with their advisor at least once per semester to schedule classes and plan their course of study. Students are also encouraged to contact their advisors for other matters related to academics, career planning, professional service, or to discuss any other matters.
Good Standing
Students are considered to be in good standing at the end of a semester if, in that semester, they have completed at least 12 credits of coursework with at least a 1.8 semester average and have no more than one grade below C-.
By the end of the fourth semester, students in a Curry major must have earned at least 54 credits in order to enroll in a fifth semester; passing at least 84 credits is necessary to enroll in a seventh semester. Students who fall below these criteria must make up their work during summer session or, with prior approval, at another institution, as students are allowed only 8 semesters at the University of Virginia. A minimum of 120 credits and a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher are required for graduation.
Probation, Suspension, and Reenrollment
Probation
A student will be placed on academic probation after any semester in which good standing is not attained. The term “academic probation” appears only on the advising transcript. A student on probation is expected to meet with his or her advisor and program coordinator no later than the add period of the next semester. If the student does not regain good standing at the end of the next semester, the student will be suspended.
Suspension
Suspended students may apply for readmission to the Curry School or enroll in courses through the University’s Summer Session after one calendar year from the effective date of the suspension. Students who are readmitted after being suspended must achieve academic good standing or face a second academic suspension. A second academic suspension is final.
Readmission
Students should consult “Returning to the University” in the University Regulations—Academic section of this Record for policies that govern their readmission to the University. Application must be made to Curry’s Office of Admissions and Student Affairs at least 60 days prior to the start of classes during the semester a student wishes to matriculate. In addition to the approvals required by University policy, applications for readmission must be approved by Curry’s academic dean. Transfer credits taken at another institution while on suspension will not be accepted. See University policy on re-enrollment.
Reenrollment
Students should consult “Returning to the University” in the University Regulations—Academic section of this Record for policies that govern their reenrollment at the University. Students who have been on an approved leave of absence may apply for re-enrollment when returning to the Curry School of Education and Human Development, as long as their return is within the agreed-upon time frame arranged through Curry’s Office of Admissions and Student Services. Any student who does not maintain enrollment and does not have an approved leave of absence will be required to reapply for admission and are not guaranteed acceptance.
Grade Appeals
Students who wish to appeal a grade must first attempt to resolve the issue with the instructor of the course. Reasons for appeal include errors in calculation or transcription, an incorrect grade has been submitted, or an incomplete grade. Absent a satisfactory outcome, the student consults with the chair of the department. Students may consult with the Curry School’s associate dean for academic programs and student affairs to confirm which department chair should be contacted. If this path proves unsuccessful in the resolution of the matter, the student may appeal to the dean of the Curry School. The dean’s decision is final. At each stage of their appeal, students should provide any supporting documentation they believe is important to their appeal. Appeals must be initiated within one month of the final date by which grades are posted for the term in question.
Other Academic Grievances
Due process is guaranteed to all students. See “University Regulations: Academic ” in the University Regulations section or consult the Associate Dean for Academic Programs and Student Affairs office, 102 Ruffner Hall.

Students who wish to finish their undergraduate studies in fewer than four years must work closely with their advisors to map a program of study. At least 60 credits of coursework must be taken on Grounds at the University of Virginia. Students who complete the undergraduate course requirements in three years or less are inducted into the Order of the Orange and are provided orange stolls to wear at final exercises.
Those interested in accelerated graduate study at Curry in Kinesiology must apply for admission to the desired graduate program at the start of their last semester of undergraduate enrollment. All requirements (GREs, letters of recommendation, on-line application) must be submitted at that point. If admitted to the graduate program, a new advisor will be assigned. Undergraduate courses, or courses previously applied toward an undergraduate degree, are not transferable for credit toward a graduate degree.
Changes in Schedule
All additions to course schedules or changes in the grading option for a course must be completed by the last day to add a course. These changes are made via SIS. Any required course must be taken for a grade (not pass/fail). B/MT students should consult the policies of their relevant undergraduate school.
Course Absence Regulations
Students are expected to attend classes throughout the session, with the exception of University academic holidays, unless permission to be absent temporarily or to withdraw has been first granted by the instructor. The Department of Student Health does not furnish routine excuses for illness either to the student or to the instructor. If a student anticipates extended absences for personal, health, or family emergencies, s/he should contact the advisor and/or the academic dean who will notify course faculty, as appropriate. Upon request from the academic dean, the Department of Student Health may evaluate the effect of any illness upon a student’s attendance and academic performance. Failure to attend classes or other prescribed activities in a course may result in enforced withdrawal from the course or other penalties as determined by the instructor.
Course Load
Students must be enrolled on a full-time basis (12 credits minimum) during all semesters, except the final one. Students should obtain permission from the program coordinator, advisor and academic dean in order to take fewer than 12, or more than 18 credits during a given semester. Reduced courseloads in semesters other than the final one will only be granted in cases of exentuating medical or personal circumstances. Students will pay full-time tuition if they register for more than six credits.
Discontinuing a Course
A student may drop and void registration in a course within the official add/drop window via SIS. Permission to take fewer than 12 credits must be petitioned to, and approved by the advisor, program coordinator, and the academic dean. Exceptions can be granted only for unusual or emergency circumstances. Students may withdraw from a course after the add/drop window until the university’s official withdrawal date and will be graded as a Withdrawal (W). This notation does not affect a student’s grade point average; nor does a course with a grade of W count toward credits earned. Students may not withdraw from a course after the withdrawal date.
Independent Study and Directed Research
Students may earn a maximum of 6 credits through directed independent study or directed research credits. Students must complete an independent study contract for each independent study or directed research course and have appropriate approvals from the faculty supervisor, faculty advisor, and the program coordinator prior to enrolling. Independent study or directed research courses are taken ungraded (S/U) and cannot serve in lieu of required general education requirements or major requirements.
Repeated Courses
If a student chooses to repeat a course for any reason (e.g., meet graduate school requirements) both grades for the repeated course remain on the transcript and the first course grade (D- and above) will be calculated in the cumulative grade point average (GPA). However, course credit for this will be counted only once. Students who fail a required course must repeat it in order to obtain credit and the two grades (F and repeated grade) are averaged for the cumulative GPA.
Students may not use an S/U course to repeat a course in which a grade has already been earned.
Degree Requirements
The Curry School of Education and Human Development affirms the distinction between degree requirements and licensure requirements in its programs. While many programs contain both kinds of requirements, and major portions of the two may be synonymous, one may meet one set of requirements and not the other (i.e., receive a degree without qualifying for recommendation for licensure). Information concerning licensure requirements is provided to students through the Office of Teacher Education. To be recommended by the Curry School of Education and Human Development for professional licensure, a student must complete a state-approved teacher education program sequence approved by the faculty of the Curry School of Education and Human Development, meet state cut-off scores on the Praxis II examinations, the Virginia Communication and Literacy Assessment, and the Virginia Reading Assessment (elementary and special education only.)
Final Examinations
Final examinations are an essential part of most courses. They are given during a designated period of time at the end of each semester, as they are considered part of the regular academic calendar. Absence from exams is excused only for illness, attested to by a physician’s certificate, or for other causes that the instructor, advisor, and academic dean, by special action, may approve. An unexcused absence is counted as a failure and, at the discretion of the instructor, may result in failing the course.
Examinations may only be given at the University-assigned time unless authorized by the academic dean. Students are not authorized to take final exams before the regularly scheduled time. However, under serious conditions, and with their instructor and advisor’s permission, students may be allowed to postpone the examination to a time convenient to the instructor. Students who have three exams in one day or four in a two-day period may petition to have one examination moved using Curry’s form for final exam postponement requests. Requests must be approved prior to the last day of classes.
B/M.T. students should consult the policies of their relevant undergraduate institution through the second semester of the fourth year. During the fifth year, B/M.T. students must follow graduate policies of the Curry School of Education and Human Development. As noted in the Graduate Record, graduate courses must be at the 5000 level or above; students are required to earn a B- or better in said coursework.
Course Grades
All required courses must be taken for regular, graded credit (no S/U or CR/NC), including grades of A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-. C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, F. Internships, practica, and student teaching are generally graded S/U. Courses taken at or above the 5000 level may require a grade of B- or better if they are core courses or if students wish to apply said coursework toward a graduate degree program.
Student work may be graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S/U) basis in certain courses within the Curry School. This is typically the case with practicums/field experiences. Students should consult their advisor and program coordinator before signing up for S/U courses to ensure such courses will count toward the 120-credit hours required for graduation.
Grading Basis Changes in Response to COVID-19 Pandemic Spring 2020. To review the grading basis change information please Click Here .
Grade Changes
No grade may be changed after it has been submitted to the University Registrar without the approval of the Curry academic dean. The Curry academic dean is not authorized by the faculty to change a grade submitted to the University Registrar except when an instructor certifies that, because of errors in calculation or transcription, an incorrect grade has been submitted. All grade changes must be entered into SIS.
Incomplete Grades
B.S.Ed. students may only request an incomplete grade if the instructor indicates that the student has successfully completed at least 75% of the work for the class. Students must complete the petition for an incomplete grade request form and have it signed by their instructor and submitted to their academic dean for final approval. An IN may not be used to allow a student to attempt to raise a grade at the end of the term. The time line to complete course work may not exceed 30 days, unless a student enters into a written contract with an instructor, specifying remaining requirements and the expected date of completion. If the student does not meet the terms of the incomplete policy, the student’s incomplete grade will be changed to an F or U.

Students who withdraw from the semester may take courses elsewhere with the prior permission of the student’s advisor and the Associate Dean for Academic Programs and Student Affairs, and in accordance with existing policies on transfer credit.
Enforced Withdrawal
Students may be forced to withdraw from the University for habitual delinquency in class, habitual idleness, or any other fault that prevents the student from fulfilling the purpose implied by enrollment at the University.
Further Information on Withdrawal
For further information about voluntary withdrawal, medical withdrawal, and enforced withdrawal please see the University Regulations section of this Record. Students on financial aid should consult http://www.virginia.edu/financialaid/withdrawal.php for additional information. Any questions about tuition and fees for withdrawn students should be directed to Student Financial Services.
Leave of Absence
The University expects students to register each semester and proceed to the completion of their degree programs. However, students may request to take a leave of absence, which is valid for up to two consecutive semesters. Students who plan to be away from the University in a subsequent semester (or semesters) should contact the Curry Associate Dean for Academic Programs & Student Affairs no later than the day before the beginning of the semester in which the student plans to be on leave.
Students who have been on an approved leave of absence apply for re-admission when returning to the University (see below). Students who enter a degree program at another institution, however, must reapply to the University as transfer students and are not guaranteed acceptance.
Medical Withdrawal
Due to significant medical reasons, a student may need to withdraw from the semester. A student may withdraw for medical reasons at any point in the semester, with the same conditions and restrictions applying as with a voluntary withdrawal (see below). In addition, students who return to Curry after a medical withdrawal must be cleared by Student Health (see Readmission below). In very unusual medical circumstances, documented by a health professional, a Curry student who did not withdraw during the semester has one semester in which to petition for a retroactive medical withdrawal. If approved, all grades convert to W’s and the student is obliged to be absent for a full semester before resuming full-time study.
Readmission
Students should consult “Leaving and Returning ” in the University Regulations-Academic section of this Record for policies that govern their readmission to the University. Application must be made to Curry’s Office of Admissions and Student Services at least 60 days prior to the start of classes during the semester a student wishes to matriculate. In addition to the approvals required by University policy, applications for readmission must be approved by Curry’s academic dean.
Reenrollment
Students should consult “Leaving and Returning ” in the University Regulations-Academic section of this Record for policies that govern their reenrollment at the University. Students who have been on an approved leave of absence may apply for re-enrollment when returning to the Curry School of Education and Human Development, as long as their return is within the agreed-upon time frame arranged through Curry’s Office of Admissions and Student Services. Any student who does not maintain enrollment and does not have an approved leave of absence will be required to reapply for admission.
Voluntary Withdrawal
Students may withdraw from the University before the conclusion of a semester, specifically up to the last day of the final examination period, if they meet the conditions stated in the University Regulations section of this Record. A grade of W will be entered for each course in which the student was registered. However, students in the Curry School who withdraw within 10 class days immediately preceding the final examination period are not permitted to re-enter the University for the succeeding semester nor to present transfer credit earned during the same time. Students who have received a withdrawal notation on their transcript for two consecutive academic terms (not including Summer Session or J-Term), regardless of the lapse of time between the two terms, may not apply for readmission to the University for one year. Students initiate the withdrawal process with the Curry’s academic dean.
Majors
The following majors and minors are offered within the Curry School of Education and Human Development. Please see the Curry website for specific information.
Kinesiology
Kinesiology refers to the study of movement and is a multifaceted field of study in which movement or physical activity is the intellectual focus.

Nineteen credits are required.
Related Program
5 Year Bachelor/Master of Teaching
Curry partners with the College of Arts & Sciences, the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy and the Curry School to offer B/MT degrees. Undergraduates enrolled in Teacher Education earn two degrees: a Bachelor’s from the undergraduate school of enrollment and a Master of Teaching degree from the Curry School of Education and Human Development. Both degrees are awarded simultaneously after all program requirements have been met.
Students in the B/MT programs are advanced to graduate status at the end of the 4th year prior to student teaching in the 5th year. Those who plan carefully can complete their combined program of studies in fewer than 5 years. To accelerate the program, students must enroll in a three-week summer session prior to student teaching.
Curry supports numerous Study Abroad programs during which students to grow academically and professionally while gaining a global perspective. Before pursuing any international learning experience for academic credit, students are required to discuss plans with the academic advisor, and if approved, meet with the International Studies Office (208 Minor Hall).
Earning Undergraduate Credit for Study Abroad
In order to be eligible students must have completed at least one full-time semester at the University of Virginia, possess a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher, and be in good academic and disciplinary standing prior to applying to study abroad. Students are also expected to meet with the academic advisor to plan a program of study, complete the online Education Abroad Workshop, and meet with an Education Abroad Advisor in the International Studies Office.
Coursework must be approved prior to enrolling in an institution outside of the U.S. Note that credit granted for courses taken abroad cannot exceed credits awarded for comparable University courses.* If enrolling abroad during a fall or spring semester, students are expected to complete at least 12 credits of coursework.
To ensure students receive credit toward the degree, students must:
Requests for transfer credit from international students returning to their home countries to study in the summer will be treated like those from U.S. students who will be studying at U.S. institutions for transfer credit.
* UVA applies the general guidelines for awarding credit recommended by the National Council on the Evaluation of Foreign Student Credentials and the national Association for Foreign Student Affairs. Students receive credit for courses taken at recognized foreign tertiary-level educational institutions. Those that are chartered and authorized by their respective national governments (generally through ministries of education) are considered “recognized.”

Credits Earned Prior to Admission
A maximum of 60 credits may be earned prior to matriculation. These may include transfer credits approved by the University, AP credits, International College-level exams, and dual enrollment coursework taken in high school. (The University does not award credits or exemptions from requirements via the College Level Examination Program.) After admission, if the course(s) taken are not listed in the transfer credit database (http://saz-webdmz.eservices.virginia.edu/asequivs/), students must complete the Incoming Undergraduate Transfer Credit Form (http://curry.virginia.edu/resource-library/undergraduate-transfer-credit-form) and submit to the Curry Admissions Office, 102 Ruffner Hall.
Credits Earned After Admission to Curry
A Curry undergraduate student may take coursework at another accredited degree-granting institution of higher education in the U.S. or abroad and transfer those credits to UVA. Students must seek permission before beginning the coursework elsewhere by submitting the Request for Transfer of Undergraduate Credit from U.S. Institutions [4] form. If the course is listed in transfer credit database (http://saz-webdmz.eservices.virginia.edu/asequivs/), enter the course and its equivalent on the form. If not listed, consult the Curry advisor for guidance. Transfer credits are evaluated and must be approved by the Curry advisor and academic dean. (Use separate forms for each institution) Upon successful completion of the course(s) earning a grade of C or better students can request credits to transfer. Students should provide an official transcript to the Curry Office of Admissions (within 2 months). Failure to provide official transcript(s) and doing so within this timeframe will prevent the course from being added to the official transcript.
Courses passed with an S, P, or credit grading option will transfer only upon verification that they represent work equivalent to a C or better. Such courses will be counted toward total Credit/Non-Credit courses allowed in the degree program. Quarter hours will be reduced proportionally to their semester hour equivalent. If students previously earned credit at UVA for an equivalent course, duplicate credit will not be awarded.
No more than 60 non-UVA credits (including transfer and Advanced Standing credit) can count toward the degree at UVA.
