Application and Approval for State Certification

Application for Texas certification is made available through the Certification Office of the University of the Incarnate Word. Information regarding testing dates, registration deadlines, or testing sites is available from the Teacher Education Office. Application for certification takes place once all coursework, an Apprenticeship, and required state-administered competency examinations (TExES) examinations have been successfully completed.

NOTE: It is the recommendation of the Certification Office that the application for state certification be filed immediately after graduation or upon completion of all required certification requirements, whichever comes first, to ensure that program changes, if any, do not affect certification status of individual applying.
