Audits for Licensure
Audit of your transcripts and current program are conducted to determine if you are lacking any liberal arts courses that are necessary for licensure and if you possess the necessary course work in your teaching major. Minor deficiencies must be made up before you are recommended for licensure in your teaching area. For more information, see Graduate Audits.
