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

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. Students
have until the second day to ap
ply for too percent refund,
register and pay tuition without

Johnson said it gels really
confusing for Oregon Hall when
students randomly drop and
add courses.
“The whole thing is just a
constant juggling act." she
said.
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.
"I'm hoping in giving this in
formation out to pinpoint some
tilings students don't know,"
she said "I hope bringing at
tent ion to these areas will make
them aware "
