• Transmitted directly by the college/university in a secure electronic format such as Parchment or E-Script to mail@gapsc.com - *Please note: mail@gapsc.com is for electronic transcript transmission from colleges/universities only. For general certification inquiries, please click here;
• Submitted electronically by an employing Georgia LUA.

Transfer credit reflected on a transcript issued by another institution is acceptable only if the course names, credit hours, and grades are listed. Otherwise, you must submit a transcript from the institution at which the credit was earned.

If you have completed course work at a college/university outside of the 50 U.S. states or the District of Columbia, please click here for information about foreign credential reports.

Official PLU transcripts must be signed by the designated official with the PLU provider or the employing Georgia LUA. Unlike college transcripts, PLU transcripts may be submitted online.

GACE scores are transmitted electronically to the GaPSC and should not be submitted by the applicant. Any other required scores (such as Praxis, OPI/WPT) must be submitted. Photocopies of official score reports are acceptable. However, scores printed from an online educator account that cannot be publicly verified will not be accepted. If you are submitting Praxis scores used for certification in another state, please do not have the scores submitted electronically to the GaPSC. Please order a hard copy of the score report, then submit a copy of that score report to the GaPSC.

If you are unable to obtain a copy of an official score report, the following verification methods are acceptable:

• Out-of-state certification assessments may be documented by a signed letter, on official letterhead, from another state’s certification office. This letter must include the following information:
  • Name of assessment;
  • Date taken;
  • Numerical score OR statement that the assessment was passed; and
  • Statement that the assessments passed were required for educator certification in that state.

Educator experience in a Georgia public school system is transmitted electronically to the GaPSC and need not be verified by the applicant. All other educator experience must be documented on the GaPSC Experience Verification Form. Please note, this form must be completed in its entirety, including indication of Satisfactory performance reviews. If the experience was earned in a public school system, the form must be signed by an authorized Human Resources official, not the school principal. If the experience was earned in a private or charter school, the form may be signed by the Director, Headmaster, or another administrator. If your employer will not verify satisfactory performance on this form, you must submit a copy of your annual performance review for each year of experience you submit.

Occupational experience required for Healthcare Science and Career and Technical Specializations fields of certification must be verified by an official letter from a current or former supervisor. The letter must include the following information:

• Dates of employment;
• Primary duties;
• Hours worked per week; and
• Title & contact information of the supervisor writing the letter.

Self-employment may be verified by copies of business or personal tax records that reflect self-employment work experience in the appropriate field.

Georgia institutions must submit verification of approved program completion electronically to the GaPSC. If you have completed an approved program in Georgia, please request that the Certification Official at your college/university submit the verification.

If you have completed a state-approved certification program outside of the state of Georgia, the Certification Official from your college/university must complete the Approved Program Completion Form. They may return the form to you to be submitted with your application package, or submit it directly to the GaPSC via mail.
