The SCDE Office of Educator Services has updated the procedures for submitting certification requests and materials.

To apply for certification or to request an update to a certificate or educator file, a current or prospective educator must submit an official request and supporting documentation through My SC Educator Portal. With the transition to My SC Educator Portal, the SCDE Office of Educator Services no longer accepts requests and documents from educators by mail, email, or fax. Instead, all requests must be submitted electronically through My SC Educator Portal. Please note that the previous request for change/action forms are no longer needed or accepted.

Employers, colleges, universities, and other entities may submit PDF attachments with supporting documentation and/or forms directly to the SCDE by emailing certification@ed.sc.gov.

Transcripts must be sent directly to the SCDE at transcripts@ed.sc.gov by the college, university, or transcript delivery service.
