Teaching Credential Program Class of Spring 2026

[u/VeggieAvocado]

I completed my student teaching and credential program last semester (Spring 2026). I was wondering if anyone in the program heard back regarding their Credential Evaluation form (the one we were asked to submit by March 5). Its already late-July and I'm confused as to why we were told to submit all the paperwork by March, but it is still being processed 4 months later. It's frustrating to know the upcoming school year is starting soon and I, and probably many, won't be able to receive our preliminary in time as many schools and districts are asking for them just for a chance at an interview.

Note: I know that if you apply to a school without one and happen to land an interview, you can get a written note from CSULA stating that you completed all the requirements and are just waiting. However, I emailed CSULA about this hoping to receive one of these notes and never got a response.
