Any student who is getting a new certificate or adding a new certification area to an old certificate must apply through this office. An individual seeking temporary certification through a school system must work directly with the school district and the Ohio Department of Education.
Universities have no involvement with temporary certificates.
Teachers and administrators who are simply renewing or converting a certificate will do so through their school system. Graduate students may meet with a program counselor or the program coordinator. Undergraduate students are typically assigned an advisor following an initial appointment with a program counselor in the Office of Academic Services. Graduate students in degree programs are given the name of their advisor at the time of admission. Special non-degree students do not normally have a faculty advisor but could request one.
