Graduate Student Audits

Graduate students who plan to apply for any licensure status as a result of program completion at Peabody must complete audit forms to document how they will complete licensure requirements. During the first two weeks in the program, licensure students should contact the Office of Teacher Licensure to request audits.

Liberal Arts Audit Form A is required for all students seeking their first teaching license. It documents how state and national standards for bachelor’s level study in science, math, social studies, and humanities will be met upon program completion. Upon request to the Office of Teacher Licensure, the students undergraduate transcript will be audited and the student will be notified of the findings, pending faculty adviser review. The Liberal Arts Audit Form A, and any additional audits (depending on the program) will be provided to the faculty adviser. The student will be advised to request an appointment to meet with the adviser to review the audits, make any necessary modifications, sign approvals, and return the audit forms to the Office of Teacher Licensure for final processing. A set of final, approved audits will be mailed to the adviser and the student for future reference. Those who already are licensed teachers, or who are in a program for School Counseling, SPED (Speech Language), Reading Specialist, or English as a Second Language (ESL) are not required to complete the Liberal Arts Audit Form A.
