Recertification Point Requests Overview
This process will replace the use of the paper Independent Recertification Request Form.
1. Discuss your PD plans with your principal prior to completion.
2. The option for Independent Credit Requests is to be completed at the end of a course/conference/activity (just as before). For each submission, supporting documentation of attendance and/or completion are required.
3. Once submitted, our Licensure Specialist will receive the request for approval. Once approved, the appropriate points will be reflected on your transcript.
4. Course Credit submissions must include electronic official transcript.
If you have completed an ACPS internal professional learning activity where points will be automatically assigned by the instructor, you will not need to complete this process.
Note: 
Pending Pre-Approval: The credit request is in the process of gaining approvals from Central Office and will not yet show on your transcript 
Pending: This status indicates applications have been submitted and gained pre-approval(s). The application will remain in this status until the course/conference/activity is complete. The user will return to the original request on their end and upload the proper documentation. When this is done, the Credit Approver (Central Office) will review and approve for recertification point distribution.
Approved: The credit request has been successfully approved and supporting documents have been uploaded. Points will show on your transcript awarded. 
Denied: The credit request has been denied. See the approver's notes for more information on the denial.
