Field Experience Important Requirements

Before participating in any field experience, students must meet important certification requirements. The state of Georgia mandates Pre-Service Certification for anyone entering a public or charter school as part of their coursework. Stay informed about placement sign-up deadlines, certification requirements, and necessary forms to ensure a smooth experience. Please review the catalog for details and reach out to CEPP for assistance.

Important Notice About Certification

The state of Georgia requires that anyone participating in any course requiring a field experience, where the candidate will enter a public or charter school, must hold a Pre-Service Certification. This requirement will impact all courses requiring field experience beyond education foundation courses (EDUC 2110, 2120 & 2130). 

Candidates admitted to the Bagwell College of Education must complete and submit to the Education Student Services office two forms in order to obtain the required Pre-Service Certification. The Education Student Services office is located in Kennesaw Hall, Suite 3008.  Forms not submitted in a timely manner could result in incomplete field hours required for a course.
