The State Board of Education periodically revises the requirements governing certification in the State of Alabama. Therefore, requirements for degrees leading to certification are subject to change from those published in this Athens State University Catalog and this Web Site. The student is advised to secure a current curriculum guide from the School of Education Office to ensure that both degree requirements and certification requirements are met. Anyone convicted of a felony can be denied certification or have certification revoked by the State Superintendent.
