  5. Approval and Initial Certification Process and Policies

We’re currently working on this page. New content will be available soon. Thank you for your patience! 

Change in State Standards and Teacher Certification  

Subsequent to completion of degree and request for approval to take State Certification exam; the current TEA regulations will be adhered to. Therefore, candidates may be required to fulfill additional requirements not present at the time of initial completion of degree. TAC 228.31 (E).  

Transfer Requirements  

If a teacher candidate does not complete all required testing requirements to be recommended for certification and opts to pursue a different area of certification/track for teacher certification, the student must complete a Transfer Form . The completion of a Transfer Form indemnifies UTRGV EPP against responsibility for the former student’s teacher certification recommendation and reporting requirements.
