State Exam Registration

State Approval to Test

All students seeking certification through TTU are required to have “approval to test” each time you register for a state exam. This includes exams for teacher certification, professional certification and re-taking an exam. Authorization for the exams is given from the Office of Student Services.

Approval is not required for the Pre-Admission (practice) exam, but should be scheduled through the TTU Testing Center. 706-742-3671. A test pass can be attained from your advisor for easier access to testing.
