For the endorsement only (certificate) option, choose &#8220;P-12 Building Level Administrator (GC-PBL).&#8221; <strong><em>Please note that these are two different tracks.<\/em><\/strong> The second option is only available to those with an existing Masters in a related field, subject to Program Director approval.

However, applications may take a day or two to fully populate in our system and to accurately verify or assign your student ID. Once that process is complete, the graduate admissions office will conduct an initial review of your application to make sure there are no deficits or errors. At that point, you will be sent an email with your T-Number information and information regarding your next steps and how to submit documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For questions about the <strong>program<\/strong>, please contact the <a href=\"wmorelan@atu.edu\">EDLD program director<\/a>.
