Certification Forms

Fingerprints completed for student teaching or internship are good towards your certification application for about 3 years from initiating. If you are seeking initial certification at a later date you will need to obtain a new fingerprint card from the State Board of Education or Kelli Horrocks (208-282-3701, horrkell@isu.edu) and you will need to complete both the Noncriminal Justice Applicant Privacy Statement and the Fingerprint Verification Form. Submit both forms with fingerprint card and include $40 for fingerprint verification. Return to all below.

The Non-Teaching Certification Application Instructions outlines what needs to be completed for individuals that are certifying in anything other than elementary, secondary education, PE or Music. Certification Application Instructions are directions for individuals certifying in Education (secondary, elementary, PE and Music).

The forms listed below are on the site website. Also under the Certifications we have a number of different forms that are used for different types of Idaho certifications. If these could be included on the Certifications section it would be appreciated. Refer them to this website for additional information: http://www.sde.idaho.gov/site/teacher_certification/

Petitions

Internal College of Education Petition

Petitions to be allowed to deviate from institutional policies require submission of an Idaho State University Undergraduate Student Petition and appropriate supporting documentation (See the Petition Policies stated elsewhere in the Course Catalog). Petitions to be allowed to deviate from College of Education policies and requirements require submission of an Internal College of Education Petition with supporting documentation. Internal petitions are initiated with an advisor or course instructor on forms available online and the Advising Center. For petitions involving teacher education requirements, an Education Advisor from the Advising Center will review the petition, provide a recommendation, and sign the petition. Petitions also require the signature and the recommendation of the appropriate program major advisor, program coordinator, or department chair. Internal petitions are approved or denied by the Associate Dean (or Dean) of the College of Education. A copy of the petition is retained by the College of Education in the candidate's official file. If additional action is required, approved petitions are advanced to the Registrar's Office.
