Teach-Out and Transfer FAQs

Teach-Out Partners

Teach-out agreements entered into by Fontbonne University typically include protections that
exceed what non-agreement institutions typically provide. These benefits may include the
following:

  • Automatic admission of current Fontbonne students in good academic standing.
  • Acceptance of successfully completed credits at Fontbonne as defined by the receiving institution. Fontbonne students should be able to complete their degree in the same amount of time. Students should expect to complete the same number of semesters at the teach-out institutions as they would have at Fontbonne to finish their degrees.
  • Out of pocket costs should be comparable to Fontbonne. While the scholarships may be packaged differently and with different names, the net cost should be comparable. Fontbonne students will not need to negotiate that process or be concerned about the teach-out institution’s published “sticker” price.

Those wishing to move to a teach-out partner should complete the Authorization for Release of Information to Third Party.

River Falls, WI  54022

715-425-3245

Website: https://www.uwrf.edu/CSD/Graduateprogram/Index.cfm

Credits accepted:

Post-bacc prerequisite credits (subject to review upon entry into the graduate program to determine coursework needs—this is the same for all students entering the program; some require additional credits)

 

Out-of-pocket cost for students:

Additional costs that may be associated with the UWRF CSD graduate program**

The following are subject to change. This is not an official document but meant as an extra resource to help students plan for potential out-of-pocket expenses.

1st year:

  • Immunizations are required to be current—some are free through student health services, but some may require a medical insurance/copay visit:
  • Mantoux or Quantiferon TB test, Hepatitis B (3-shot series), Measles/Mumps/Rubella, Tetanus, Varicella
  • Student Liability Insurance—approximately $42
  • SimuCase 1-year membership: $99
  • Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts (SALT) student guide: $20
  • CALIPSO (hours and skills tracking software) fee: $125 is collected via special course fee that is added to your tuition bill directly
  • Not required, but highly recommended–A reasonably priced digital recorder for use in clinic (personal mobile devices are not allowed to be used for this purpose): approximately $30

2nd year:

  • Mantoux/Quantiferon test (annual)
  • Influenza vaccine (many practicum sites require this)
  • Additional background checks are sometimes required by sites ($0 to $40 each semester)
  • Some sites may require drug testing, which can be completed for ~$30 or less
  • Student Liability Insurance–$42 renewal required to cover 2nd year for placements
  • Transportation or parking fees associated with placements (varies)—typically more cost with facilities that are in the metro area, but if you need to drive 30+ miles to a site plus return to campus for some evening courses, that will impact gas costs.  We strive to find sites that are near where students live/commute, but that isn’t always guaranteed, so travel distances may vary.
  • Some medical sites may require scrubs be worn, but many offer you the choice of scrubs or professional dress
  • If you wish to complete requirements for WI school licensure, the cost for the required portfolio software is $100.

Each semester:

You’ll need to purchase textbooks each semester.  Cost varies and there is no requirement for purchasing those on campus. Students may choose to purchase used versions or rent from online providers, as available.

Other:

Students will be required to take the Praxis SLP test at the end or following completion of any graduate program (not unique to UWRF).  The current cost of that is $146.

Teach-Out and Transfer FAQs

A teach-out agreement is a formal agreement between universities allowing students to complete their programs or courses at a different institution when their current one is no longer able to provide the necessary resources or support. Fontbonne is signing these agreements to help students finish their degrees without major disruptions.  These agreements remove many of the barriers that a student who transfers might otherwise face.  These agreements typically include waived application fees, residency requirements, and deadlines. They also typically include acceptance of all successfully completed Fontbonne credits.

Not all teach-out institutions are suitable for all majors.  A table of degrees and teach-out institutions will be provided as soon as they are available.  We recommend that students meet with an academic advisor to discuss the best path forward.

Teach-out agreements entered into by Fontbonne University typically include protections that exceed what non-agreement institutions typically provide. These benefits may include the following:

  • Automatic admission of current Fontbonne students in good academic standing.
  • Acceptance of successfully completed credits at Fontbonne as defined by the receiving institution. Fontbonne students should be able to complete their degree in the same amount of time. Students should expect to complete the same number of semesters at the teach-out institutions as they would have at Fontbonne to finish their degrees.
  • Out of pocket costs should be comparable to Fontbonne.  While the scholarships may be packaged differently and with different names, the net cost should be comparable. Fontbonne students will not need to negotiate that process or be concerned about the teach-out institution’s published “sticker” price.

Many institutions accept applications for transfer students, but the process may not be as seamless or have the same guarantees as with transitioning to the partnering teach-out institution. Therefore, it is often in the best interest of the student to transition to a designated teach-out institution.

A table of degrees and teach-out institutions will be made available on our website as soon as agreements are finalized.  Additional institutions are expected to be added in the coming weeks.  All teach-out agreements are tentative pending approval by the Higher Learning Commission.

Teach-out agreements are legal documents that involve a careful review of degree programs and policies by the receiving institution.  We were not able to contact most universities until after the March 11 announcement.  There has been much interest, and some documents are now awaiting review by our accreditor.

Students may utilize a teach-out agreement after any of our semesters, so a student may enroll after summer 2024, fall 2024, spring 2025, or summer 2025.  An email will be sent to students with information about their academic advisor and about next steps.  To enroll in a teach-out institution, students should set up an appointment with their advisor.   At this meeting students will discuss their major, the differences between teach-out and transfer, and which teach-out receiving institutions have their major/degree/program of study.

In this meeting, students should be sure to cover what is required to:

  • Move to the teach-out institution
  • Have their records moved to the teach-out institution
  • What forms need to be signed
  • Who the contact person is at the teach-out institution they wish to attend

Students planning to attend a teach-out institution should submit the Authorization for Release of Information to Third Party form so Fontbonne can share student information, including your complete academic record, with the teach-out institution(s).

This depends entirely on the transfer or teach-out institution; students should check with their intended school for information specific to their situation.  Students may benefit by remaining at Fontbonne until the end of summer 2025, improving their GPA, and returning to good standing prior to switching to a new institution.

No, the degree will be awarded by the teach-out institution.
