State board adds one year to education program By Carolyn l.amberson Of Ihf fnwrald The Oregon Slate Hoard of Higher Education on Friday unanimously approved a plan extending teacher education programs from four to five years. The hoard accepted the recommendation of the Com mittee on Instruction. Research and Public Service Programs that requires the five education schools in the state to submit plans for their own five-year programs by Jan 1. 1987, The extension plan goes into effect in Fall 1990. The approved proposal gave some guidelines that education programs should follow, hut the hoard hopes to see five in dividual programs developed and encourages the institutions to be innovative and creative. The guidelines include exten ding the programs to five years to ensure teachers have a superior knowledge of cur riculum. adequate practice in teaching and strong profes sional educations. Although this includes the requirement of a baccalaureate degree outside of education, students still are allowed to take an education minor or concentration. Institu tions may. however, offer a liberal arts or interdisciplinary degree for those interested in teaching Karly exposure to classroom situations for undergraduates is encouraged: during the fifth year of the program, students Course lengths may cause problems Hy Carolyn l.amberson Of Ihtt Kmerald Kathryn Johnson, associate registrar. said her office is mak ing a concerted effort to inform students of the potential pro blems surrounding summer term registration. The Registrar's office will Ik; handing out an information sheet at registration today to in form students of fees and deadlines, lohnson said. "The biggest problem in sum mer centers around the fact that we have varying lengths of classes through the summer,” she said. The University is of fering summer classes that range from one to 11 weeks in length, and often times students are not aware of upcoming deadlines, she added. This can create a problem because there is no one specific set of deadlines for tuition pay ment, drop/add, or tuition re fund requests, lohnson said. Nor is there any one answer to a question, she added — it all depends on the length of the class. For six-, seven-, eight-, and eleven-week courses, the deadline for dropping without an $H fee and receiving a full tuition refund is the first Friday of the term. The second Friday is the last day to register and pay tuition with late fees, to add classes, to drop classes without a W on record, and to apply for a 70 percent tuition refund. For courses running two to five weeks, the deadlines are even sooner. Students have un til the second scheduled class day to request a full tuition re fund. The first Friday, then, is the last day to register and pay tuition without late fines, add courses and drop without the drop fee. and apply for a 70 per cent tuition refund One-week classes have an even tighter schedule.

An added difficulty also may lie in the fact that students an? not accustomed to paying for classes by the credit, she said. There is no regular tuition structure for full-time students "Students are used to taking 12 to 21 credits and being able r to change their schedules around and not affer t their tui lion payment." site said "This is not the case with summer "We process more tuition re fund requests in summer than the rest of the academic year." she added. fohnson hopes to avoid these potential problems by inform ing students.
