  5. CREDENTIAL APPLICATION PROCESS 1st step • Complete and submit the credential application and recommendation fee by the priority deadline date. 2nd step • Your file is reviewed to make sure all requirements have been met. After final grades are posted in mid to late June, and we verify that you have successfully completed all Spring semester coursework, CSUSM recommends you for a credential via the web. We anticipate the recommendation process will be complete by the end of June for those students who have met all requirements and submitted applications by the priority deadline date. All other applications will be processed on a date-order basis.

  6. CREDENTIAL APPLICATION PROCESS 3rd step • CCTC will email you a notification of recommendation for your credential. This notification will provide a link that instructs you to complete your credential application process. • You will also pay fees. Payment by MasterCard, VISA, debit/credit card, or a one-time credit card (available at most grocery stores) is the only option for payment of the on-line recommendation. The fee is $57.00

  7. CREDENTIAL APPLICATION PROCESS 3rd step - continued • CCTC notifies the student and CSUSM via email that all fees have been paid and student will be issued a credential. • Within ten to fifteen (10 – 15) working days, CCTC issues notification of credential issuance via email. This email serves as your verification (C-19) letter.

  8. CREDENTIAL APPLICATION PROCESS 4th step • The Credential is issued by CCTC. • You may verify issuance of your credential at: https://teachercred.ctc.ca.gov/teachers/index.jsp or go to: www.ctc.ca.gov/ and click on “Lookup a Credential” located in the menu on the left-hand side of the screen.
