Detailed information on Intern Credential is located on the Credential Office website.
Per APU Catalog:
Once a candidate has been recommended for an Intern Credential, he/she must comply with the following requirements to maintain eligibility for the Intern Credential:
Be continuously employed in a teaching assignment that requires the Intern Credential
Be an APU School of Education candidate in good standing
Be making satisfactory progress toward program completion for the duration of the Intern Credential
Follow his/her signed advising plan
Enroll in an intern support course (SPED 500 or TEP 590) or clinical practice course each term he/she holds an Intern Credential
Note: Once a candidate has progressed to the start of the second 8 weeks of clinical practice, the candidate has passed the point where he/she can be recommended for an Intern Credential. Upon completion of 16 weeks of clinical practice, a candidate with an Intern Credential has two 8-week term in which to complete the preliminary credential requirements and application and move to the preliminary credential. This includes passing the RICA for those candidates working toward a preliminary credential requiring RICA. Failure to either maintain eligibility for the Intern Credential or to complete the preliminary credential requirements and application within the one 8-week term immediately following completion of clinical practice will result in withdrawal of the Intern Credential, which could impact the candidate’s employment.
