FSC Education Licensure Information > Requesting Verification of Approved Program Completion

Most states have specific licensure procedures in place for applicants who hold a license in another state, and many now require verification that applicants have completed an approved educator licensure preparation program. Framingham State College will provide verification if you have completed all requirements for an approved licensure program.

Each state's form is unique and many states require extensive information about your practicum/student teaching placement. If this is the case, we will need to request your file from Permanent Storage, which may take a few days. Please use the following checklist to help ensure timely and accurate completion of your request.

1. Obtain the necessary approved program verification form(s) from the state in which you are seeking licensure/certification. Fill in all parts that are required to be completed by you, the applicant. DO NOT fill in any parts that are required to be completed by the College.

2. Include a separate sheet with the following information:

Your current name (first, middle initial, last)
Any other last names you had while enrolled at Framingham State College
Your current mailing address
Your email address
Your student ID number, if known
The degree or program you completed and the year you finished/graduated

NOTE: If necessary, the Licensure Officer may need to contact you to obtain your social security number if you do not know your student ID number. If, for example, there are two students with the same name,  your social security number will resolve that issue.

3. Include instructions for returning the completed form. Again, each state has its own procedure. Some require that the form be returned to you. Others require the College to send the form directly to the state's licensure/certification office. If instructions are not included, the form will be sent to the state listed on the form.

4. Submit all materials by mail or by fax to:
Dr. Kate Hibbard, Licensure Officer
Framingham State College
100 State Street
Framingham, MA 01701
Fax: 508-626-4040
   
Some states will not accept a faxed form. Please check this before using the fax option.

A letter confirming completion of your request will be sent to you via postal mail. If the state requires the completed form be returned to you, it will be included with the confirmation letter. If your request cannot be completed, an explanation will be provided.
