Credential applicants are advised that CONVICTION RECORDS may prevent a candidate from obtaining an education credential. Although a wide variety of convictions will not prevent the issuance of a credential, the California Education Code does stipulate that certain conviction records will mandate the denial of a teaching document. Prior to applying, candidates with conviction records should consult with a Credential Advisor from Credential Office regarding the nature of the conviction.

STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY: I understand that it is my responsibility to submit all required documents to the Credential Office, accompanying my application, regardless of where else on campus they may have been previously sent. To the best of my knowledge, all information I provide is accurate. I will keep the Credential Office informed of changes in my address, telephone number, e-mail, legal name, as well as notify the office of my intent to change programs, or withdraw from a credential program on a temporary or permanent basis.

By signing below, I certify I understand these expectations, and am willing to accept responsibility for their completion.
