Instructions for Requesting an Evaluation

 

PLEASE READ COMPLETELY BEFORE REQUESTING AN EVALUATION FOR A TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM.

A.  Who should complete this application?

Students who have graduated from Purdue University North Central or an accredited institution (other than Purdue University North Central) and are interested in completing the elementary education program at Purdue North Central, whether they are seeking original licensing, an addition to an existing license, or a professional license should complete this form.  Note:  If you are interested in the "Transition to Teaching" program, please visit the following web site: http://www.in.gov/psb/teacherprep/transitiontoteaching/

B.  Who should not complete this application?

      Students who wish to obtain a second baccalaureate degree should not complete this form.  If a second baccalaureate degree is desired, contact the Office of Admissions at 219-785-5237.

 

C.  When does one request an evaluation?

      Evaluation requests are accepted at any time during the year.  Students seeking admission to the Graduate School of the School of Education for an advanced degree or to complete graduate course work, however, should submit all materials to the Education office prior to June 1 for the Spring Semester and prior to November 1 for the Summer and Fall Semesters in order to meet Graduate Studies Office deadlines.

 

NOTE:  If international transcripts are to be evaluated, this office will conduct an evaluation after the applicant is evaluated by Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc., P.O. Box 17499, Milwaukee, WI  53217-0499, (414) 289-3400.  An application form can be obtained from the Education Credential Evaluators’ web site at http://www.ece.org/.  Applicants should request the course-by-course report.

 

D.    What happens to the request form once it has been submitted to the PNC Education Department?

      When the items below have been submitted, the transcript evaluation will be conducted by a Licensing Advisor.  After all materials are reviewed, a letter indicating any deficiencies will be issued.  This evaluation is valid for one year.  If courses are not initiated within this period, the evaluation is considered void.  (A student taking course work before an evaluation is received does so at his/her own risk.  Please note prerequisites, co-requisites, and the sequence of professional education classes in course catalogs.)  In addition, allow three to four weeks for processing.

 

E. Whom do I contact if I have questions regarding completing this evaluation form?

      Contact the PNC Education Department at 219-785-5485 or kgriffin@pnc.edu

 

F.  Where should the completed request form be returned?

       Education Department

       Purdue University North Central

      1401 S US 421

      Westville, IN 46391

 

Please include the following items in your evaluation request packet:

      1.   Official transcripts from institutions attended other than Purdue University (West Lafayette, Calumet or North Central), if course work pertains to the program area.  Please request that the transcript be sent to you, then enclose it with this packet.  Note:  You may wish to order an additional set of transcripts to use at the time of enrollment.

      2.   A cashier's check or money order made payable to Purdue University North Central for the amount due.  (Minimum amount due is $35.00.)  See page four.  No personal checks or cash will be accepted.

      3.   The completed evaluation request form.

      4.   Non-Purdue graduates should complete the self-assessment form.  Please follow the order of courses as they appear on the approved color-coded program sheets.

      5.   Attach a course description from a course catalog or a syllabus for each course that you wish to substitute for a Purdue course.  Grades received from courses not taken at Purdue must be a grade of “C” or higher.

NOTE:   * Return all items listed above in one mailing.  Incomplete application packets will be returned.

* An academic or faculty advisor is unable to officially advise a student for licensure until the PNC Education Department has completed an evaluation.

*  Due to sequencing and the availability of some of the professional education courses, it may not be possible to complete a program in less than three years unless a person is admitted through the Transition to Teaching Program (see A. above).

* If an evaluation is not requested before course work is completed for licensure, the applicant will be charged the evaluation fee before the license application will be processed.
