No, it has not been at least 18 weeks since I submitted my application for certification.

If it has not been at least 18 weeks since you submitted your application, and you submitted an application using the individual transcript evaluation pathway, the Office of Teaching Initiatives has not had enough time to process the application and evaluate your credentials. (Processing time may be longer during certain peak periods.) We recommend that applicants periodically check their account for the latest status of their certificate application. In the meantime, should you receive an offer of employment from a local public school district, you may wish to request expedited review of your application.
