Preliminary Administrative Services Credential Program

The Preliminary Administrative Services Credential Program authorizes service as a superintendent, associate superintendent, deputy superintendent, principal, assistant principal, supervisor consultant, coordinator, or in any equivalent or intermediate level administrative position.

Requirements for the Administrative Services Credential are:

  1. possession of a valid teaching credential or a services credential with a specialization in pupil personnel services;
  2. minimum of three years of successful fulltime classroom teaching or three years of experience in the field of pupil personnel services;
  3. passage of CBEST; and
  4. requirements established by the University.

Effective May 1, 1994, employment in an administrative position is required prior to the issuance of the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential. (The Commission on Teacher Credentialing will issue a Certificate of Eligibility for the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential to individuals who complete a college or university program but are not yet employed in an administrative position.) Further, employment in an administrative position is required before admittance to the Professional Administrative Services Credential Program.
