Certification Information

Certification at the conclusion of programs is handled by Ms. Chris Parker, the Certification Officer.  Her office is in Dunlap Hall, Room 109.  Her telephone is 706 864-1852 and her email is cparker@ngcsu.edu

For information about programs leading to certification, please click on the “post-bac” buttons on the left.

For information about the requirements to add a field to an existing professional certificate or to renew an expired certificate, please contact the Georgia Professional Standards Commission.

If you are completing an advanced degree and NOT adding a new field, you merely need to download a certification application from the Professional Standards Commission web site, and send them a transcript after your degree is posted.  This is called an “upgrade”.

If you are completing your first certificate or you are adding a new certification area for which you need our recommendation (for example, the Reading or Instructional Supervision Endorsement),  click here for instructions.
