Submission Process

• Submit CAL STATE Apply Application 
• Contact the Student Services Office for a School of Education Credential Program Application
• Complete and Submit School of Education Credential Program Application

Candidates submit one application if they currently attend SSU as a post-bac student and are completing a MA Program, Credential Program or are taking the pre-reqs as a post-grad student. Please contact the SoE Credentials Office for the SOE application.

Candidates submit two applications if they are not currently attending SSU as a post-bac student. The primary application is Cal State Apply. Once this has been submitted, please contact SOE for the Credential Application. It is highly recommended that Cal State be submitted as least two weeks prior to the deadline in order to ensure the applications can be reviewed and missing items noted.
