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 has been expired for more than five years. 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.
