Testing Sequence and Deadlines
In order to begin Clinical Teaching, you must take and pass your content (Art, Music, or Theatre) exam by the Clinical Practice deadline. The deadlines remain the same each semester:
| Fall Clinical Teaching Deadline | Spring Clinical Teaching Deadling |
| July 15th | December 15th |
For example, if you are scheduled to start Clinical Teaching (your final semester) in Spring 2027, then the last possible date to take your real content exam (Art, Music, or Theatre) would be December 15, 2026.
You will take and pass your pedagogy exam during your Clinical Teaching semester.
