Transfer Form (TF) – When to Complete 

  • In TEA click Educator Information -> Educator Search and paste in the applicant’s SSN  

  • If this error comes up, the applicant does not have a TEA account and therefore a transfer form is not needed. 


Note: If an Applicant is transferring from a program out of state, a transfer form is NOT required.  Only those applicants transferring from another EPP within Texas are required to submit a transfer form. 


 

 

  • Once on the applicants TEA account you will need to check the three sections below: 

 

  • Request Status – If an intern has a certificate application with another program we will need to ask the intern if they were enrolled in that program. If they confirm that they were in the program, we will need a TF. If they confirm that they were not in that program, we will not need a TF.  

If fingerprinting is showing, this is not something we would need a TF for as well.  See Request Status in TEA


  • Examinations – If an intern has test approvals or test attempts through another certification program or university, we will need a TF. See Examinations in TEA 


  • Certifications – The kind of certificate an applicant has been on will decide what is needed.  See Certifications in TEA

  • 1 Year Certificates are mostly people who were certified in another state and are attempting to receive reciprocity through TEA. 

 

  • If an applicant has been on a 1 Year Cert for a specific subject, they cannot go through our program for that same subject. 

 

  • If an applicant has been in more than one program previously, we only need the TF from the most recent program. 

  

 

NOTE: IF AN APPLICANT IS TRANSFERING FROM ANOTHER PROGRAM, ADMISSION IS NOT GUARANTEED. 




  1. Any Candidate who transferred into our program CANNOT  be a late hire (TOT policy)

  • 2008 rules dropped will need to reapply and repay the enrollment fee. 

  • Remove test approvals on this applicant’s TEA account. 

  • Text Box2008 rules dropped cannot be Late Hires.
