Students who receive a college degree after completing a four­
year curriculum will be granted a Provisional College Certificate
which is issued by the Department of Public Instruction. Applica­
tion for such certificate must be made and the certificate issued
before graduates may teach in the public schools of Pennsylvania.
This certificate is valid for three years of teaching, and is not
to be confused with the diploma issued at graduation. It indicates
the subject or subjects and the field in which the holder is permitted
to teach.
A College Certificate valid for secondary school teaching may
be extended to the elementary field by the presentation of 30
semester-hours of work in professional education applicable to the
elementary grades; at least six of the 30 credits must be in elemen­
tary student teaching. This regulation became effective October 1,
1936.
Twelve credits of professional work applicable to the secondary
school, six of which must be in student teaching, are required to ex­
tend a College Certificate valid in the elementary field for secondary
school teaching. In addition, 18 credits must be presented for each
subject or field in which certification is desired.
The President of the College or the Dean of Instruction will be
glad to confer with persons who wish to have a Provisional College
Certificate extended to include industrial arts, speech correction, or
the teaching of mentally retarded classes.
