Individuals who obtain certification after that date are subject to the new regulations. Compliance with certification requirements is the responsibility of the individual seeking certification. Advisors can assist in the process, but compliance with all rules and regulations pertaining to certification is the responsibility of the candidate. The individual seeking certification is responsible for following all guidelines presented in the University of Central Oklahoma undergraduate or graduate catalog, depending upon the academic level of the certificate sought. Graduate level certificates require graduate level coursework and completion of a Master’s degree for standard certification. Bachelor level programs require the completion of a bachelor’s degree for certification. Please refer to the current undergraduate catalog for details. Periodically the program guidelines, coursework, and state regulations change. It is the responsibility of the individual seeking certification to meet the revised standards. An individual should therefore periodically review the most resent UCO catalog, certification course lists, and state regulations, particularly when an extended period of time has elapsed during the completion of a program. Certification Definitions A. License – The class of certification for entry-level teachers is a license. Application for licensure is made through UCO. The license is valid for five (5) years and is renewable. The license program was suspended by Oklahoma House Bill 3027 for a minimum of two years (7/1/2010 through 7/1/2012). B. Certificate – Due to Oklahoma House Bill 3029 (effective 7/1/2010 through 7/1/2011), a certificate will be issued for entry-level teachers upon completion of a teacher preparation program. Licenses and the Residency-Year Program have been suspended for these two consecutive years. Application is made to the Teacher Education Services. Certificates are valid for five (5) years. C. Emergency Certificate – This certificate is issued only in emergency cases upon request and recommendation from a local school superintendent, who shall state the school’s intention to employ the applicant if the certificate is granted. All emergency certificates are valid only within the school district upon whose request they are granted.
