» Have a Bachelor’s Degree
» Graduate Students: Send an Official Transcript from all other colleges attended,

» Undergraduate students: Need not send official transcripts from other
    colleges attended.
» Have an official copy of your Praxis test with a passing score on file with the
    Certification Officer. (If applying for a Kansas Certificate concurrently, need a
    passing score on the Principles of Learning and Teaching Exam.)

» Bring $7.00 for each Avila transcript that you need
   (a check or correct change is required).

It takes at least 6 Weeks for processing; and then, the certificate will be sent directly to you.
