3.) If closed, notate the applicant's account that their former program is closed and that a transfer form is NOT required.
4.) If open and active program from list, please move forward with requiring a transfer form.
5.) If you are unsure, please reach out to certification support to request a review of the intern's TEA account to confirm their former program is closed.
