Application for Adding a Single Subject Math or Science Credential or Authorization to an Existing Credential
* INSTRUCTIONS *
The following items are required to add an additional mathematics or science credential/authorization to a valid Multiple or Single Subject credential:
1. Fresno State credential application (on the next page)
2. Official transcripts that show your subject matter coursework, including the Single Subject Mathematics or Science teaching methodology course that you took if you’re adding on a Single Subject credential (including FLGS and FLM). At Fresno State, this methodology course is CI 161. (Note: A science credential holder adding another science area does not need to take another science methodology course.) If you are mailing your official transcripts, they must be in a sealed envelope from the university. If you are sending electronic transcripts, they must be sent directly to Pea Vang at pavang@mail.fresnostate.edu. (If the e-transcripts are sent to anyone else, the Commission on Teacher Credentialing will not accept them.)
3. Copy of valid CSET scores or original letter verifying subject matter competency (not required for Supplementary or Subject Matter Authorizations).
4. $100 money order or cashier or personal checks made payable to the “Commission on Teacher Credentialing”.
5. Download this form: www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/leaflets/414.pdf. Fill out sections 1, 2, 6, 7 and 9. (Note: Do NOT send this form to CTC.)
6. Copy of your current credential verifying that you hold an English Learner or CLAD authorization.
Note: If you are earning your initial Preliminary credential, please go to http://www.fresnostate.edu/kremen/teaching-credential/cred-cert.html for alternative instructions.
