HomeLicensure DisclosuresLoading...Educator Licensure Pathways by State and Program Many of Relay’s academic programs are designed to meet educational requirements for teacher licensure. In compliance with U.S. Department of Education regulations (§ 668.43(a)(5)(v) and § 668.43(c)), Relay has made determinations about whether its programs meet the educational requirements for educator licensure in each state. certain states. Educational requirements include coursework and clinical experience tied to coursework. Note that even though a program may meet these 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 licensure requirements (e.g. testing, background checks) to be eligible for licensure. There are three licensure pathways that Relay educator preparation program completers may use to obtain a teaching license. Click here for a map of licensure pathways by state.State-Approved Program: Relay operates state-approved educator preparation programs in a number of states. Successful program completers are recommended for licensure by Relay. Out-of-State Program Completer Reciprocity: In some states, Relay enrolls students in an educator preparation program approved in another state. Program completers may apply directly for licensure as an out-of-state program completer in an equivalent grade level and subject area. This pathway does not require candidates to first obtain a license in the program’s home state. Out-of-State Certificate Reciprocity: Some states require that out-of-state certification program completers first obtain a teaching license in the state in which the program was approved before they are eligible to apply for a license in their state.

Because licensure is tied to employment and Relay requires that students are employed in a school-based position as a condition of admission, Relay uses students' teaching location to provide information to students about whether Relay's programs meet educational requirements for educator licensure in the state in which a student is employed. Students who relocate to another state before completing all certification program requirements in the state in which their program is approved or recognized may have difficulty or be unable to complete requirements for licensure in either state (e.g., a certification seeking student who relocates from Louisiana to New York before completing all Louisiana certification requirements). Students are encouraged to first discuss relocating with their advisor, campus operations lead, or email support@relay.edu. Students should then carefully review and confirm the licensure requirements in the state in which they are planning to relocate by reaching out to the agency overseeing teacher preparation in that state and/or reviewing requirements as posted online. States set requirements for initial licensure and reciprocity, and will make final determination of eligibility for licensure. Students who relocate to another state while enrolled at Relay or who accept employment as a teacher in a different state while enrolled at Relay are responsible for providing Relay with a formal update via this form. Programs Not Intended to Lead to Licensure in Any StateRelay also offers the following programs that are not intended to meet educational requirements for licensure in any state.
