Education Code Section 44320(d) and Title 5 Regulations Section 80028 requires an individual to obtain a Certificate of Celarance prior to beginning student teaching. The Certificate of Clearance verifies that an individual has completed the fingerprint and character and identification process and has been cleared by the Commission to bigin student teaching. The Commission is pleased to announce that teacher candidates may now submit Certificate of Clearance applications through their online Direct Application web site. This new online application and automated review3 process will provide applicants with timely, accurate processing.
Begin the background check process by obtaining a Certificate of Clearance packet in Bell Tower 2805, or from your local school district administrative office. The background check is a measure to keep children safe in California public schools. Also required is a LiveScan fingerprinting procedure, available at the CSUCI police station and at local school district offices and police stations. CSUCI Police Services is located across from Professional Building. Call (805)437-8444 for appointment and fees, evenings and weekends. The total cost is approximately $110.00, which includes livescan fee & CCTC processing fee.
An alternative to the Certificate of Clearance process is to possess or obtain a CCTC issued teaching credential, including a Substitute Teaching Permit. Please note that being fingerprinted as a teacher’s aid, coach, social services employee, or volunteer does not fulfill this requirement.
Submit a copy of a completed Live Scan Form or Emergency Permit, Credential Program application and supporting documentation, and receipt for fees paid in person to the Credential Office. Please review Credential Program admission application checklist carefully. Only complete applications will be accepted.
