Online Teacher Certification & State Licensure Information

Online Teacher Certification & Licensure Information

app offers initial licensure programs in multiple states. While many program elements are consistent across states, specific requirements vary by state licensing authority. State-specific requirements include, but are not limited to:

  • Required assessments and minimum passing scores
  • Background check and fingerprinting procedures
  • Field experience hour requirements
  • Student teaching duration and placement requirements
  • Pre-service teaching permits or credentials
  • Professional codes of conduct
  • Program entry and exit requirements
  • Licensure/certification application processes

Candidates are responsible for understanding and meeting all requirements specific to their intended licensure state. While the School of Education provides guidance and support throughout this process, candidates should regularly review their state's requirements and consult with their advisor to ensure compliance. Note that state requirements may change during a candidate's enrollment in the program. The School of Education will communicate such changes to affected candidates and provide guidance on meeting updated requirements.
