Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Regionally accredited California colleges and universities
					 approved by the Commission to offer subject matter programs in compliance with
					 Education Code Section
					 44256 shall
					 be authorized to determine the equivalence of courses and programs to their
					 Commission approved program which students may submit from another institution.
					 The Commission shall accept the verification of subject matter equivalence from
					 approved institutions provided that, with the exception of persons whose
					 academic and professional preparation were completed in regionally accredited
					 institutions outside of California, the applicant for a multiple or single
					 subject teaching credential has completed all or part of his or her
					 undergraduate or graduate academic or professional preparation at the
					 institution determining the equivalency of the subject matter. The Commission
					 shall also accept the verification of subject matter equivalence from an
					 approved institution where the applicant has not completed course work when
					 neither the degree granting institution nor the institution at which the
					 program is being completed has an approved subject matter program in the
					 subject to be listed on the credential. However, the verification of subject
					 matter equivalence must be in the applicant's degree major. The Commission
					 shall also accept the verification of subject matter equivalence from an
					 approved institution where the applicant has not completed course work if the
					 equivalence was approved prior to the implementation of these regulations and
					 all academic standards required in the institution's approved subject matter
					 have been met.
For applicants whose academic and professional preparation
					 were completed in regionally accredited institutions outside of California, the
					 Commission shall accept subject matter equivalence determinations by approved
					 California institutions so long as the institution submits verification that
					 the out-of-state applicant has met requirements equivalent to those in the
					 institution's approved program. Such verification shall include, but not be
					 limited to, a listing of courses completed by the applicant deemed to be
					 equivalent to courses in the institutions approved program, attainment of all
					 academic standards required in the institution's approved program, and
					 successful completion of any final assessment required of students in the
					 institution's approved program.
