A credential evaluation report, including an equivalency summary, is necessary. A course-by-course evaluation, including the equivalency in U.S. semester credit hours and U.S. grade equivalents, is also necessary. Your credentials must be equivalent to a bachelor's degree in an education program or a program that leads to teacher licensure from a United States institution of higher education to be eligible for certification. The Department must be able to determine eligibility for licensure/certification from the evaluation report. Content of the report must include:

Fees are non-refundable. If the Department determines certification cannot be granted, we cannot refund fees.
These requirements apply to renewal credits earned at foreign institutions or requests for additional endorsements based on completion of programs outside the United States.
