Welcome Dear Applicant: Thank you for your interest in the UCLA Extension Intern Preliminary Credential Program.
The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing describes intern programs as:
“Commission approved intern programs are a path to the preliminary teaching credential that allows an individual the ability to complete their teacher preparation coursework concurrent with their first year or two in a paid teaching position, upon completion of the required minimum120 hour intern pre-service preparation. Approved intern programs are sponsored by colleges, universities, school districts or county offices of education. To qualify for intern program participation, an individual must possess a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university, satisfy the basic skills requirement, meet the subject matter competence and US Constitution requirement, and obtain character and identification clearance. The intern program provides teacher preparation coursework and an organized system of support from college and district faculty. Completion of an intern program results in the same preliminary teaching credential as is earned through a traditional teacher preparation program route.” The UCLA Extension Intern Preliminary Credential Program is designed for candidates who meet the above requirements. The program combines fully online courses with an on-ground intern teaching assignment at the candidate’s employing school. Intern programs place significant time demands on the teacher candidates who must: juggle the responsibilities of a full time teaching position for one academic year; do curriculum planning and grading outside of class hours; and complete university coursework with readings and assignments that are due weekly and are typically completed in the evening and on weekends. Before committing to an intern teaching program, it is important that applicants assess their ability to balance these time demands with any other professional or personal responsibilities. Benefits that are unique to the UCLA Extension Intern Preliminary Credential Program include: Affordable tuition Online format Highly qualified and experienced instructors Rigorous, research-based curriculum focused on classroom application Continuous intern support via university support providers, an online community of instructors and fellow
students; and school-based mentors. The outstanding, internationally-recognized reputation of UCLA and UCLA Extension
Below is important intern program information. Eligible candidates will be required to participate in an applicant interview process which will help determine admission to the program. Upon acceptance, intern candidates will receive detailed program and financial information.
We look forward to the opportunity of serving you in your professional development. Cordially,

intern credential within two weeks of having been recommended will result in not being able to register for fall courses and possible dismissal from the program. This will also affect your financial aid disbursement.
Program Costs
Application Fee: A non-refundable application fee of $100 is required upon submission of your application. You will be asked to pay at the end of the application. Program Tuition: Tuition is paid via à la carte course fees. The total tuition depends on which program the candidate has applied to. Financial aid is available for the program.
Education Specialist Mild/Moderate Standard Track: $16,000 approximately
Education Specialist Mild/Moderate Fast Track: tuition will vary and depends on course waivers accepted by UCLA.
NOTE: The above fees are based on regular course fees. Early enrollment discount fees may apply to limited courses. Early fees will be noted on course grids once the candidate has been admitted into the program. Tk20 Fee: The program uses Tk20, an integrated, assessment, planning and reporting system for colleges and universities. This system enables students to participate/manage their academic activities throughout the program. It allows students to create/submit key assignments online, facilitate course evaluations/student observations, create electronic portfolios documenting course work and keep record of field experiences. The system also allows the program to provide better communication with students regarding course and program requirements. Students enrolled in our credential programs must subscribe to Tk20 for a fee of $110.
Financial Aid Candidates officially admitted to the intern program are eligible for federal financial aid in the form of direct loans (subsidized and unsubsidized). Pre-admitted candidates are not eligible. Financial aid applications may only be submitted via mail or in person. Contact the Financial Aid Office at (310) 825-4246 or [email protected] for procedures related to filing for federal financial aid. Students who intend to pay program costs through federal financial aid must submit a completed financial aid application packet by the published deadlines to allow adequate time for processing (requires six weeks). An application for financial aid only covers one academic year at a time (e.g. Summer-Spring). If a candidate’s program spans two academic years (e.g. Winter-Fall), candidate will need to reapply a second time for financial aid to cover the second year course fees. Additionally, candidates officially admitted into the program must be enrolled in at least 6 units each quarter in order to obtain funds, unless told otherwise by the Financial Aid Office. Candidates must also successfully complete at least 18 units in each year of their program. The Financial Aid Office monitors satisfactory progress annually. Progress is measured according to the number of quarters you have attended and the numbers you have

successfully completed. If you have not met the requirements, you will be disqualified from receiving funds and your financial aid will be discontinued until the deficiencies are satisfied. Note: UCLA Extension does not defer fees and therefore you must pay for your classes out of pocket before you can receive financial aid disbursement. Students who have not paid out of pocket for at least 6 units will not receive a disbursement until they have enrolled.

Admission Requirements Information
Transcripts Official transcripts verifying Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally accredited college or university, or foreign equivalency are required. Unofficial transcripts will not be accepted; no exceptions will be made. Candidate with foreign transcripts must submit an official copy of the foreign transcript plus an official full-detailed transcript evaluation from an approved CTC transcript evaluation agency. For a complete list of approved CTC transcript evaluation agencies, please visit: http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/leaflets/cl635.pdf
It is highly recommended that applicants ordering transcripts from their universities have their transcripts sent to their home address and not UCLA Extension. Often transcripts are sent to the main UCLA campus and not UCLA Extension and in the process transcripts are lost. Order of transcripts may take several weeks so please plan accordingly. All official transcripts should be mailed to the following address:
UCLA Extension- Education Department Attn: Intern Preliminary Credential Program / Francisco Revilla 10995 Le Conte Avenue, Suite 639 Los Angeles, CA 90095
Completion of Pre-service preparation courses A minimum of 120 clock hours (or the semester or quarter unit equivalent) of foundational preparation in general pedagogy including classroom management and planning, reading/language arts, subject specific pedagogy, human development, and teaching English learners must be completed through enrollment in the Pre-service A & B courses. Fast track candidates do not need to take pre-service A or B. Pre-service courses are restricted to only those applicants who have met the CSET requirement and have been recommended to take these courses with departmental permission. U.S. Constitution A course or examination covering the provisions and principles of the United States Constitution is required for the intern preliminary teaching credential as stated by CTC rules and regulations. There are two ways in which a candidate can meet this requirement:
1. A candidate took a college level U.S. History course with an emphasis on the U.S. Constitution. The
program evaluates the official transcripts and determines whether the candidate has met the criteria. In
some cases a course description and syllabus might be required for further evaluation if the transcript is not
sufficient. Most CSU graduates have met the U.S. Constitution requirement through coursework taken
during the lower division course requirement.
2. Candidates who did not meet the requirements through a college level course may take a U.S. Constitution
proficiency examination. There are two ways in which you can take the examination:

CBEST California Basic Educational Skills Test The CBEST was developed to meet requirements of laws relating to credentialing and employment. This test requirement in no way replaces any of the other requirements of subject matter knowledge, professional preparation, and practice teaching or field experience used in the issuance of credentials. The CBEST is designed to test basic reading, mathematics, and writing skills found to be important for the job of an educator; the test is not designed to measure the ability to teach those skills. All intern applicants are required to pass the CBEST prior to application submission. Testing preparation information is available through the CBEST website. For further information regarding the exam, preparation materials, registration deadlines, and registering for the test online, please visit the website at http://www.ctcexams.nesinc.com/about_CBEST.asp The Commission on Teacher Credentialing (Commission) took action as of December 2014 to approve additional options for individuals seeking a California Teaching Credential to meet the state’s basic skills requirement. Please visit the following link to see the list of approved options: http://www.ctc.ca.gov/notices/coded/2015/1503.pdf Note: CBEST examinations do not expire. CSET California Subject Examinations for Teachers The CSET was developed by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing to meet the subject matter competence requirement for specific credentials and is required before teaching in classrooms. Each test consists of subtests that cover specific domains of subject matter, and each includes multiple-choice and/or constructed-response test items. Which exam should you take? Standard Track (New Teacher) Candidates: will need to pass the multiple subject CSET and will need to be employed in a multiple subject (K – 6) classroom. The program will not be accepting any of the single subject CSETs. If a Standard Track candidate is looking to work in a middle school or high school level teaching a single subject core subject they will need to find a different program at another university.
Fast Track Candidates: will need to have the following CSET:
Teachers with a Multiple Subject credential do not need to take multiple subject or any single subject CSET.
However, the job placement must be in a multiple subject (K – 6) classroom. The program will not be
accepting any of the Single Subject CSET. If the candidate is looking to work in a middle school or high
school level teaching a single subject core subject they will need to find a different program at another
university.
Teachers with a Single Subject credential will need one of the following:
o Pass the multiple subject CSET and be employed in a multiple subject (K – 6) classroom.
or
o Will need to be placed in a classroom teaching in the same subject area as their single subject
credential. No other single subject CSET will be accepted. The classroom placement must match
their CA single subject credential.
