Understand the Credential Review Pathway Process
RIC CRP receives full online RIC CRP applications with documentation throughout the year. The process of assessing the full RIC CRP online application can take up to 14 weeks after completed application and $150 fee has been received.
Faculty Review Process
Faculty reviewers are not expected to assess applications during the summer (May 15–late August). Applications submitted between April 15–June 3 will not be assessed until September 8.
If you are applying for the re-issuance of an expert residency preliminary certificate (emergency certificate) and are required by RIDE to submit a CRP Status Form and Plan of Study as evidence of enrollment, we advise that you submit your CRP application materials and $150 fee no later than February 6 to prepare for the August 31 deadline. The Status Form and Plan of Study should be assessed by May 15.
After the review of your full application with documentation, we will email you a status form indicating met and unmet certification requirements and a plan of study. The plan of study will include specific actions to help you achieve "unmet" certification requirements. The plan of study may list the Rhode Island College coursework or other actions required to achieve professional, pedagogical and content competencies and assessment requirements.
After achieving all certification requirements, the Feinstein School of Education Dean will sign the Credential Review Completion Authorization. RIC CRP will send this signed form to you. You will then apply for your issuance of your certificate at RIDE (including the signed form in your RIDE application materials).
