HomeLicensure DisclosuresLoading...Professional Licensure Disclosures Professional organizations, societies, states, and licensing jurisdictions have specific requirements for membership, certification, or licensure. In the states in which Relay is an approved in-state educator preparation provider, Relay works to align Relay’s program(s) offered in the state to the state’s educational requirements for educator certification/licensure. Students should be aware that the professional organizations, societies, states, and licensing jurisdictions are responsible for defining, amending, and executing approval requirements and decisions for membership, certification, or licensure. Relay can provide public-facing information for the professional organizations’, societies’, states’, and licensing jurisdictions’ requirements for membership, certification, or licensure. Relay can provide guidance regarding a state’s licensure requirements for states in which Relay is an approved in-state provider and to the students who seek licensure in the same state. Students intending to seek licensure of any type must take full responsibility for ensuring that their degree program at Relay meets the licensing requirements of their local states, school districts, professional associations, or agencies. In compliance with the U.S. Department of Education regulations [§ 668.14(b)(32)(i) and (ii)], Relay may not be able to provide the certification/licensure MAT and the Advanced Certificate academic offerings to potential applicants residing in states in which Relay is not an approved, in-state education preparation provider. U.S. Department of Education regulations [§ 668.14(b)(32)(i) and (ii)] require all programs leading to licensure/certification must meet the licensure/certification requirements in the state the potential applicant resides. Exceptions to these regulations are possible in specific situations. Potential applicants may qualify for an exception to this regulation if 1) the potential applicant resides in a state in which Relay maintains a licensure/certification reciprocity agreement; OR 2) the potential applicant resides in a state where Relay is not an approved education preparation provider but the potential applicant will attest to their plan to work and seek licensure/certification in a state where Relay is an approved education preparation provider; OR 3) the potential applicant resides in a state where Relay is not an approved education preparation provider but the potential applicant will attest to their plan to relocate to, work in, and seek licensure/certification in a state where Relay is an approved education preparation provider. Representatives of Relay’s Admissions team can advise prospective applicants regarding eligibility for exceptions to the regulations. In compliance with the U.S. Department of Education regulations [§ 668.43(a)(5)(v) and § 668.43(c)], Relay published determinations about whether its programs meet the educational requirements for educator certification/licensure in each state. These determinations are published below on this Licensure Disclosures webpage. Educational requirements include coursework and clinical experiences. Note: while Relay programs may meet state requirements, individual students must also meet state- and program-specific requirements for admission to, and completion of, an educator preparation program, and any other state certification/licensure requirements (e.g., testing, background checks) to be eligible for certification/licensure. Requirements for admission to and completion of each of Relay’s educator preparation programs are detailed in the program’s Transition Points Guide and corresponding EPP Handbook. Prospective applicants will receive a direct disclosure in writing (via email) prior to initial enrollment in a Relay program if Relay determined the program does not meet the certification/licensure requirements in the state in which the student resides. Current Relay students will receive an updated direct disclosure in writing (via email) within 14 calendar days of the current student notifying Relay of the current student’s relocation to a state in which Relay determined the program does not meet the licensure/certification requirements in the current student's updated state of residence.Questions about certification/licensure disclosures should be directed to support@relay.edu. Certification/Licensure Pathways There are three certification/licensure pathways that Relay educator preparation program completers may use to obtain a teaching certification/licensure depending on the program completed, the state in which they were located while enrolled, and the state in which they are seeking certification/licensure. State-Approved Program (Direct): Relay's Educator Preparation Programs (EPP) are designed to meet educational requirements for certification/licensure in the state in which the program is approved. Relay is a state-approved educator preparation program provider in the following states: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and the District of Columbia. Specific program offerings and certifications/endorsement available vary by state. Students who complete a state-approved program at Relay and meet all necessary requirements may apply for, or be recommended by Relay, direct certification/licensure in the state in which the program is approved. Students who complete all Relay program requirements for certification/licensure within the state they reside and are interested in teaching in another state may be able to apply for certification/licensure as an out-of-state program completer or as an out-of-state licensed teacher. Many states maintain EPP completion and/or licensure reciprocity policies and processes. Program completers and licensed teachers must follow the processes established by the state agency governing certification/licensure in the state where the student wishes to teach. Some states may require additional testing or coursework requirements before issuing a teaching certificate/license to an out-of-state prepared educator. Relay supports program completers in their applications for out-of-state certification/licensure by providing verification of program completion and related documentation for students, upon the student’s request. Out-of-State Program Completion Reciprocity: Some states offer the opportunity for individuals who completed an out-of-state educator preparation program to apply for certification/licensure in the state without first obtaining a teaching certificate/license in the state where their program was approved. States typically require that the out-of-state program is similar (i.e., leads to a similar subject/grade band) to programs leading directly to certification/licensure in their states. Out-of-state program completers must often complete additional requirements such as testing and coursework before they can be issued a certificate/license. Out-of-State Certification/Licensure Reciprocity: Many states offer a process for certified/licensed teachers to apply to transfer their out-of-state certificate/license in a similar subject area/grade level to a certificate/license in their state. States may not accept all certificates/licenses and may not have reciprocity with all states. States may require that out-of-state certified/licensed teachers have a certain number of years of experience in the state where their certificate/license originated, or that they complete additional testing or coursework to be eligible for a certificate/license transfer. States set requirements for certification/licensure, reciprocity, and equivalent certificates/endorsements, and will make all determinations related to issuing or denying applications for certification/licensure. State rules and regulations are subject to change and students are encouraged to review current certification/licensure requirements and application processes of the states where they intend to be certified/licensed by contacting the agencies overseeing teacher preparation in the states where they intend to be certified/licensed or reviewing published information on their websites. Additional Professional Licensure InformationRelay is an approved participating institution in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) by the New York State Education Department (NYSED), which acts as the SARA State Portal Entity for the state of New York. SARA is a voluntary, interstate reciprocity agreement that establishes comparable standards for interstate offering of postsecondary distance education. As a result of Relay’s participation in SARA, students have access to additional compliance policy information and resources available by the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA). NC-SARA has worked with the SARA State Portal Entities (SPEs) and regional compacts to create a Teacher Education Professional Licensure Directory, which provides state-specific contact information for entities/agencies responsible for certification/licensure for teacher education programs. This directory does not include regulations or requirements, it is exclusively for general contact information, and updated annually. For more information on NC-SARA please visit www.nc-sara.org. Academic Program OfferingsStarting in Summer 2022, Relay began to launch revised academic programs to strengthen candidate preparation for building positive learning environments. The program modifications included, but were not limited to, changed program curriculum, program names, and program length. State- and program-specific details for Relay’s revised programmatic offerings can be found in the Academic Catalog, and Relay’s initial programmatic offerings can be found in the Academic Programs Guide. Please note, not all programs are available at all locations or in all modalities.Relay’s professional licensure disclosures will inform prospective and current students of the Relay programs that DO and DO NOT MEET a state’s certification/licensure requirements.
