ATC Official Transcript Reminder

The ATC program needs your help in getting official transcripts from teachers to the ATC office in a timely manner.

The ATC office must have an official transcript from every teacher seeking ATC approval beginning with the 2010-2011 school year. By definition, an official transcript is one that has been received directly from the issuing institution. It must bear the institution’s seal, an appropriate signature and a date. 

Training sessions are almost complete for this school year. The ATC Approval office expects to process approximately 8,000 applications for the 2010-2011 school year.  The speed with which applications can be processed is much faster when transcripts are received before we review the applications.

• Only transcripts that show a degree received are required. It is not necessary to send transcripts showing only course work with no degree.
• Official transcripts cannot be faxed or emailed. Copies from the school district’s HR department cannot be accepted.

Also, all teachers must complete a new Part I Online session. Even though a teacher’s approval list may show a valid Part I, it must be repeated since the session contains updated information regarding the TEKS rewrites, PEIMS, etc... The only valid expiration dates for ATC courses (including Part I) are 7/31/2013, 7/31/2014, and 7/31/2015. Courses (including Part I) with an expiration date of 7/31/2012 are INVALID.

Transcripts should be mailed to:

P.O. Box 13071, SFA Station
