Upon completion of ALL certification requirements*, the Director of Professional Education, Certification and Compliance (Gail Habbersett) will provide a letter of completion to each certification applicant who has applied online through the TIMS at the PDE. This letter of completion states that the candidate has successfully completed a PA state-approved certification program at West Chester University. Further it states that West Chester University has affirmed and recommended this candidate in the TIMS at the PDE for the credential requested.
This is "THE LETTER" to which many school districts refer. It will be mailed only after formal grades are posted and degrees are conferred (if applicable).
*this includes:
- Graduation clearance/program completion by major department and the registrar's office
