Important Notice To Read First

The Office of Teaching Initiatives priority is to process and evaluate completed applications and issue certificates. We receive over 12,000 new applications monthly, in addition to thousands of other pieces of mail sent in for already pending applications. Processing time may take months dependent upon the volume of applications and method of application (online or paper).

Before you contact us, please know that staff for email or phone calls is limited. Therefore, we urge you to check out the following resources on our web site purposely designed to help you access helpful information 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
