Credential Admissions


NEW! Pursuing Concurrent Credentials

If you are interested in pursuing your post-baccalaureate work, we recommend that you carefully review the graduate admission requirements. As you begin to explore your options visit the department website for information on masters and credential programs. All prospective students are encouraged to submit an application through Cal State Apply.
As a continuing student in the credential program, once you determine you want to add a concurrent credential, you must submit a petition to add a new credential objective.

  1. Tuition will be charged based on the Credential Student Fee Schedule
  2. Eligibility for financial aid will be based on enrollment in required teaching credential coursework only.
    1. Enrollment in any coursework that is not required for your Credential program (as detailed in the catalog) will result in an adjustment to your aid eligibility and enrollment status.
    2. Review the Understanding Enrollment Requirements page on the Financial Aid & Scholarships website for details regarding how your enrollment impacts the various types of financial aid.
    3. The Maximum Timeframe Standard under our Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Applicantsis based on total units attempted while pursuing your program. Your Maximum Timeframe will be adjusted to account for the units required for all Credential Programs you are pursuing.  Enrolling in courses that are not required for your credential programs – or enrolling in courses prior to officially adding a program may result in exhausting your overall eligibility for financial aid prior to completing your program.

    4. Impact of Pursuing Concurrent Credentials on Grant Aid:
Under financial aid regulations, eligibility for grant aid is restricted to coursework required for a student’s initial Credential only.  Grant programs impacted by this restriction include:
  • Federal Pell Grant
  • Federal TEACH Grant
  • Cal Grant
  • Middle Class Scholarship
  • Golden State TEACH Grant
  • State University Grant
If you decide to pursue more than one credential at the same time, your eligibility for grant aid must be evaluated based on the coursework required for only one of the credentials. 
Once you have completed all coursework for your first credential (including the Clinical Practice experience), your eligibility for aid will be limited to Federal Direct Loans. 
  • Information regarding the financial aid process and types of aid available for Credential Students is located on the Financial Aid & Scholarships website
