Out-of-State Students
Out-of-State Authorizations/Licensures
The list below contains certification/licensure information we received in 2022. Some states listed as “cannot be determined” have reciprocity requirements. If seeking certification outside of Texas, please work with your state agency in the state in which you are seeking certification to verify this information, determine eligibility, and complete any additional requirements.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) requires candidates seeking certification to complete all clinical teaching/practica at a site approved by the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) educator preparation program and Texas Education Agency and meet all other TEA and state requirements. Out-of-state students who do not complete the practicum at a UTA College of Education and TEA-approved site and meet all other TEA requirements do not qualify to be recommended for Texas educator certification.
The University of Texas at Arlington's programs leading to Texas educator certification are designed to meet requirements in the state of Texas. Some UTA programs may lead to certification in other states as well, however, some locations may not allow UTA programs to lead to certification and others may have additional requirements that are not met by the programs at UTA. If seeking certification outside of Texas, please work with your state agency in the state in which you are seeking certification to verify this information, determine eligibility, and complete any additional requirements. Please note that after successful completion of your UTA College of Education degree, you may request a memo indicating your degree completion. UTA cannot recommend ineligible out-of-state students for certification and cannot recommend ineligible out-of-state students to take Texas certification exam(s). Additionally, UTA faculty and staff cannot complete out-of-state form requests for individuals seeking certification, licensure, and/or endorsements in another state.
