Open Enrollment Starts Now!

 Please note our new office hours:  Monday - Friday  8AM - 6PM

 

***Effective December 14, 2008, degreed individuals who have never been admitted to a TEA approved, Educator Preparation Program (EPP) can challenge an exam through Pre-Admission Content Tests (PACT).  This can demonstrate content proficiency for possible admission into an EPP in Texas. Taking PACT does not ensure admittance into a program.

 

If you have a bachelors degree and you've never been enrolled in an alternative certification program, you can challenge the Texas Examinations of Educator Standards™ (TExES™).

Pre-Admissions Content Testing**

 ** If you have NEVER been enrolled in an alternative certification program (ACP) or educator preparation program (EPP) and you have a Texas Education Agency (TEA) identification number, because of previous or current employment with a Texas school district, you will need to contact educational testing services (ETS) at 1-800-205-2626, and explain that you wish to register PACT, despite already having a TEA number.
