How do I apply for the Preliminary Credential or Certificate of Eligibility?
In the last quarter of coursework, you can obtain an application from the Credential Student Service Center (CSSC AE 235) for an application. The University recommends you for the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing Credentials, not your district. You must have: Verification of passing scores on the CBEST in your file A copy of your teaching credential Verification from your district indicating you have a minimum of 3 years full time teaching or services experience Verification from your district that you have a full-time administrative position if applying for the Preliminary Credential A 3.0 GPA in all credential courses.
