California Credential and Authorization Application

Congratulations for reaching this major milestone in your professional education. If you have completed all requirements, and final grades have posted, you are now ready to be considered for a formal recommendation for your credential.

On the application form linked here, you will find a section designed for each credential that is recommended. Please choose the appropriate area and make sure that you have met all requirements for that credential. 

Once you have determined that you are ready to apply for the recommendation, please follow the link provided to complete the credential request form. Please note that prior to submission of the request you will be required to pay the $30 Fresno Pacific credential processing fee. This fee is non-refundable. 

Once this has been done your request will be electronically transmitted to the Credentials Office. Once your credential has been recommended to the CTC you will receive an email asking you to complete the application. At the completion of the application, you will be asked to pay the Commission fee for the credential.
