STUDENTS WHO HAVE OBTAINED AN UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSITY AND ARE ATTENDING TAMUCC FOR CERTIFICATION COURSEWORK (POST BAC)

Obtaining information about pre-tests and certification tests is the responsibility of the student!

Please note the state definition of a Post BAC:

A student who obtained an undergraduate degree from another university who is attending TAMUCC for certification coursework

Required exams are listed on your certification plan.

Students still in their certification program must meet all pre-requisites in order to be eligible to take state certification examinations.

Content Exam

TAMUCC may allow Post BAC students as defined above to test in their content area one time without any pre-requisites if they are currently enrolled in certification courses at TAMUCC. This policy is stated on all Post BAC certification plans. Contact Mr. Scott Simmons (825-2433) for information.

Approval to test is required from the content area program coordinator and TAR automatically generates this approval request via email.

If the student fails the content test, s/he must take course work as required by the Program Coordinator of that particular content area.

Students submit TExES requests via TAR.

PPR Exam

All students still in their certification program must take the PPR Pre-test and conduct an analysis of score report to be eligible for the state PPR exam.

Eligibility for the PPR pre-test requires enrollment in or completion of EDCI 5308 for 8th -12th grade certification students, or EDCI 5315 or EDCI 5316 or EDCI 5317 for EC-4th or 4-8th grade certification students.

Students submit TExES requests for a PPR via TAR once the PPR pre-test and analysis have been completed. .
