NOTE: Every individual, upon completion of certification, will be investigated for a record of criminal activity by the State Board of Education Certification in compliance with State statute 19 TAC SS 141.5. Applicants for the Teacher Education Program may also be subject to a criminal background check by the partner school district. Districts have the right to refuse any individual access to their schools and/or students at any time and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi is obligated to honor that request. Inability to complete field requirements will prevent an individual from successfully meeting course requirements.
