What if I leave my cohort and later decide to rejoin?
If you leave your cohort due to unforeseeable circumstances and inform your advisor, you may rejoin your cohort or join another cohort when the sequence of courses allow for you to join. You might have to pay a new rate of tuition if you have to join a different group.
How do I apply for the Type 75 certificate?
Once you complete the required coursework and have passed all the state test(s), you must attend a certification workshop and contact the Office of Teacher Education and Certification (kehoe@sxu.edu or 773-298-3971) who will forward the application form to you.
