Credential Request

Services

Our office provides assistance to our credential candidates as they work on completing their credential and program requirements, and with the processing of the credential recommendation to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (C.T.C). We verify the candidate has successfully completed requirements for eligibility and issuance of a California teaching or services credential. In addition, we assist former credential program completers with credential licensing verification for out of state.

Application for Credential Recommendation

Upon completing all of the credential requirements, the candidate must apply for the teaching or service credential via submission of the Application for Credential Recommendation.

The submission of the Application for Credential Recommendation (including all required documentation) initiates a program evaluation and the formal credential recommendation by a Credential Analyst to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (C.T.C.). Eligibility for a credential recommendation is based upon completion of all components of your program.  All exams, assessments, coursework outside of CSUDH, etc. must be completed prior to submitting a credential request.  The results of the program evaluation will be sent to the e-mail address provided on the Application for Credential Recommendation.

To initiate a credential recommendation, select the program list below for information on the appropriate credential application requirements and application.
