Forms, information for prospective student-athletes.
SUNY Oswego has a range of certification programs in teaching, school counseling, school psychology, and educational administration which are approved by the New York State Education Department (NYSED) and the Board of Regents and accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The college's certification officer is the Associate Registrar, who recommends SUNY Oswego graduates for teacher or administrative certification upon completion of an approved teacher preparation, school counseling, school psychology or educational administrative program.
The New York State Education Department has additional requirements for all certifications, including passing scores on New York State Teacher Certification Exams (NYSTCE); US citizenship; good moral character (confirmed by fingerprinting and a criminal background check); and timely application. SUNY Oswego's University Police will fingerprint education candidates. Please review the procedures HERE.
New York State Education Department is changing the requirements for certifications, effective in 2014.
Specific certification informational pages are under construction and will be available by mid February 2013.
