Student Registration

• To register for one of the scheduled Commissions listed below, students must complete and submit to The Registry a Registration for Commission form specific to their credential, including the $300 Commission fee, before the registration deadline. Late registrations will not be accepted.
• Forms, including instructions, are located under Credential Resources. Be sure to complete the registration form specific to the credential you are commissioning for. Mail, fax, or scan and email your form to The Registry, Attn: Credentials.
  
• Review the Credential Candidate Commission Guide for more important information about student registration.

Commission Day
At a Commission, credential candidates demonstrate how the knowledge they have learned through completing the credential coursework applies to their current work in the early care and education field.

Awarding a Credential

• A student will receive their Credential Certificate if the student has done the following:
  • Successfully completed the Commission process.
  • Submitted official transcripts for all courses with a passing grade of C- or higher to The Registry. Official transcripts must be sent directly to The Registry in an unopened, originally sealed envelope or by secure email from the institution of higher education.
  • Paid the Commission fee in full.
  • Received a Registry Career Level Certificate or submitted a complete application for membership. If the student’s first-time application is on “Incomplete” status, the student will not receive a Credential Certificate until the necessary fee or information is received and the “Incomplete” status is removed.
• If the student’s Registry membership is current, students will also receive an updated Registry Certificate reflecting any increases to their career level.
• Students whose Registry membership is expired are encouraged to renew.
