It is not necessary to send copies of background checks to 91探花 with your licensure submission. 
• Submit passing scores on all required tests to 91探花, Ohio Assessment for Educators and ACTFL. Praxis tests are no longer accepted for licensure as of July 1, 2019.

• If OHIO recommends you for licensure, the Patton College will forward the application to the Ohio Department of Education, Office of Educator Licensure with the check or money order.

Note: Licensure applications will not be approved until the candidate has officially graduated from 91探花 and a degree is officially conferred. Graduation is not official until all financial "holds" are removed from a student鈥檚 record. The Patton College of Education must also have proof of the passing of required Ohio Assessment for Educator exams before the application can be forwarded to the Ohio Department of Education. The Ohio Department of Education usually needs 7-10 business days for processing. Applicants may check the status of their application at the Ohio Department of Education on the department's website.
