The purpose of the Request for Pre-evaluation is to determine the status of your credential/certificate program and eligibility to apply for formal recommendation of the credential/certificate. The Request for Pre-evaluation is initiated with the submission of the Request for Pre-evaluation form via on-line, in person or by mail one quarter prior to the last quarter of program course work. Please note that there is no fee associated with the Request for Pre-evaluation and that there will only be one Pre-evaluation conducted for each type of credential/certificate program. NOTE: The Request for Pre-evaluation form will require the applicant to list all CSUSB course work currently enrolled in and/or will be enrolling in for the following quarter.

The results of the Pre-evaluation will be e-mailed (via attachment) to the applicant's CSUSB e-mail address only or mailed (per request or if applicant does not have a valid CSUSB e-mail address) within approximately 2 - 4 weeks.

Original documentation is not required for this request although it will be required for the submission of the application for formal credential/certificate recommendation. It is the applicant’s responsibility to verify that all credential/certificate requirements are successfully completed and that all required original documentation is in their program file prior to or at the time of submission of the application for formal credential/certificate recommendation. Please note that all candidates must be officially and unconditionally admitted to the University and to the appropriate credential/certificate program in order to be formally recommended for a credential/certificate by CSUSB.

Please see Required Documentation to obtain the list of original documentation required for the submission of the application for formal credential/certificate recommendation.

Pre-evaluations will not be conducted for candidates requesting Internship eligibility. Internship candidates will need to contact the Internship program coordinator regarding their program status. Internship credential holders can submit a Request for Pre-evaluation one quarter prior to the last quarter of program course work.

Pre-evaluations will not be conducted for Designated Subjects (Adult, Vocational, Special Subjects and Supervision and Coordination) applicants. Applicants will continue to submit the Designated Subjects credential application via Paper Application for Credential Recommendation in person or by mail.
