We hope this information has helped you to understand the process to follow in obtaining a professional clear teaching credential in California. When taken one step at a time the process is not as difficult to complete as it first might seem. Each credential issued provides more than enough time to complete the requirements. If the Commission requires the recommendation from an accredited institution for a professional clear credential, Fresno Pacific University Graduate School would be pleased to recommend you. Our only requirements are that you have applied and been accepted into our teacher education program or our graduate program, that your coursework reflect Cs or better and that you have taken at least 16 of your fifth year units through our University Graduate School.
Applications are available in the teacher education office.
The Credential Analyst will be happy to meet with you at any time to map out a plan for your fifth year of study, to advise you concerning graduate programs or to evaluate your current status.
