Application for a Mississippi Teaching License
If you have recently completed a Mississippi College approved program leading to licensure with the Mississippi Department of Education, including the 3- or 5-year alternate route path, supplemental endorsement, or an advanced program*, a University Recommendation is required by the Department of Teacher Education and Leadership's Licensure Office.
The University Recommendation Application must be submitted to the Licensure and Certification Coordinator via email, and praxis scores should be included if they are not currently on file with the department.
Please contact the Licensure and Certification Coordinator to request an application.
