Credential Files
The Hart Career Center maintains credential files for all education majors and those students considering graduate school. To establish a file, you must first submit a Recruitment & Credential Registration form.
To request a copy of the contents of your credential file, a Credential Release form is needed. After the September following a student's graduation, a nominal fee is required in order to process this request.
Upon receiving the request form, your credential packet will be mailed to your selected address within 1-2 business days. If your request includes that a transcript be sent with the packet, please allow an additional 1-2 business days for the Office of the Registrar to process the transcript request. If your file is archived (date of graduation occurred more than ten years ago), please allow an additional 3-5 business days for processing.
To include a personal statement in your file, submit a Candidate's Personal Statement Form.
In the event you wish to have the Career Center remove your credential folder from our storage, you must submit a Credential Removal Form.
Recommendation Forms
To request recommendations from faculty, internship supervisors, or other referees provide the individual with the appropriate form. The Teaching Recommendation Form is for the supervising teacher during a student teaching experience. For all else, the Standard Recommendation Form is used, referees may also provide their own letter head.
