Application Process
|
1. In order to obtain Institutional Recommendation for certification through Adelphi University you must complete the application obtained in the School of Education or the Office of the Registrar. You may also download the application (PDF 36 KB).
2. Return the completed application to the Office of the Registrar.
3. Once the application has been approved, the Certification Office wll issue a Student Application Information Sheet to be used in conjunction with the NYS TEACH system. Please do not apply for certification until you have received the Student Application Information Sheet.
4. You may create a login and password for the NYS TEACH system at any time. Keep your password in a safe place. Adelphi will not be able to help you obtain a new password if lost; you will need to contact NYS Technical Support Services.
5. Anytime after you have received the Student Application Information Sheet from the Certification Office, you may apply for the NYS Teaching Certificate requested. You must use the exact information provided to you.
6. If you apply for certification prior to conferral of your degree, the NYS TEACH system will show that you need "Institutional Recommendation" and "Completion of a Teacher Approved Program". This will be satisfied upon the recommendation by Adelphi University. Please note that the recommendation will not be made until the degree has been conferred. The conferral dates for the University are January 31, May 31 and August 31.
7. Once the recommendation process is complete you will be able to view the TEACH online file indicating that the certificate has been issued. This will appear approximately 2-3 days after the completion of the process for Initial Certificates only. Professional and Permanent Certificates will take longer due to the need to manually review the applicant's file by NYSDOE.
8. The Initial Certificate applicant should recive their physical certificate in the mail in approximately 3-4 weeks.
