Requirements: Course and “other” requirements described here are in the Undergraduate Bulletin. They are also shared in ECE-100 Introduction to Early Childhood
Programs, posted on official bulletin boards, shared mailings, and advisement meetings. Students are responsible for knowing/meeting all program requirements.
Program related questions should be directed to Faculty Advisor or Program Director.
Special Note: All transfer students must meet with their faculty advisor or the program director by the end of their first semester in the ECE program. Bring all
transcripts from other schools and transcript evaluation done at UW-Stout. Transfer students must meet the minimum grade requirements as set forth by the ECE program
for every course. If you took a class at another college and received a grade lower than the program requirements, the course must be repeated.
Course Substitutions: Protect yourself. Please do NOT make assumptions about one course substituting for another. There is an official process for processing course
substitutions. See your faculty advisor. Complete all paperwork for substitutions promptly; otherwise the degree progress report will be inaccurate.
Benchmark Requirements: Benchmark I, II and III must be met prior to Graduation. Information on these Benchmarks can be found on the School of Education
Website (www.uwstout.edu/soe).
First Aid Requirement: Demonstrate proficiency in American Red Cross First Aid procedures and Infant/Child/Adult CPR, either by verifying current certification or by
satisfactory completion of HLTH-340 ARC Standard First Aid and Personal Safety.
