The student will be responsible for supplying CSS with transcripts from other institution(s) attended, including undergraduate coursework. Please send transcripts to Jamie McDonald at mcdon1gg@cmich.edu.
Transcript Evaluation Process

A letter and the student transcripts will be sent by the Certification Officer to the content area department.
-
The student's transcripts will be evaluated by the content area department.
-
A copy of the program will be sent to the student; the program the student receives is considered a signed endorsement program and coursework must be completed from that program.
-
To take coursework at CMU, apply to CMU at apply.cmich.edu as an undergraduate non-degree seeking student.
-
When coursework is completed and the subject area test is completed and passed, submit an application to MDE online to add an endorsement to your existing teaching certificate.
