Office of Teacher Education and Professional Services

The Office of Teacher Education and Professional Services assist students with clinical placements and licensure. Applications for certification of teachers and other school personnel are processed through this office.

All completed applications for certification, assessment score reports, and all required fees should be filed with the Director of Clinical Placements and Licensure two weeks prior to graduation.
