Credential Review Pathway (CRP)

The Credential Review Pathway is for individuals seeking a re-issue of their Expert Residency Preliminary Certificate, the addition of another certification or renewal of a certificate that is more than five years expired. After a credential review by faculty, the student is either granted certification or required to successfully complete specific graduate courses to obtain certification. The coursework required for certification will vary for each student. For details on how to apply, see: www.ric.edu/feinsteinSchoolEducationHumanDevelopment/Pages/Credential-Review-Pathway.aspx.

This is not a degree program and courses taken in this program may be transferred to graduate degree programs with the permission of the graduate program.
