Arizona State Education Licensing Requirements:

The Arizona Department of Education accepts credits and degrees from accredited institutions and therefore will accept credits and degrees from Slippery Rock

University.

The teaching intern certificate allows the holder to enter into a teaching contract while completing the requirements for an AZ provisional teaching certificate. See https://cms.azed.gov/home/GetDocumentFile?id=57a606fbaadebe02a4f4f3d6for details.

If you hold a valid PA teaching certificate and were required to pass PA’s certification exams in order to be certified in PA, the Certification Unit may issue a comparable standard AZ teaching certificate. See http://www.azed.gov/educator-certification/forms-and-information/reciprocity/ if this applies to you.

You will need to obtain a valid IVP fingerprint card. Call 602.223.2279. This may take 8-10 weeks to receive. The fee will be $67 plus $7.95 for electronic application.

Please visit http://www.azed.gov/ and http://www.azed.gov/educator-certification/forms-and- information/certificates/for more information. The Arizona Department of Education may be contacted at 602.542.5393 or 800.352.4558, or by email at [email protected]. It is highly recommended that you contact this office to confirm this information.

Please note that requirements are subject to change. You may find more licensing information for each state at https://www.ed.gov.

SRU Teacher Candidates can use their PA certifications to apply for comparable certifications in this state. See above for additional requirements.
