How do I upgrade my GaPSC certificate?

How to Apply for an Upgrade and What Documents to Submit

Below are the most common upgrade scenarios and the minimum documentation required for each case. The lists are not exhaustive, and additional documents may be requested.

Prior to completing an online application which will initiate an evaluation, please ensure all documents and any required assessments are on file. See the bottom of this topic for how to view documents and assessments on your file, and how to check the status of a submitted application.

For a list of additional transactions and required documents, see Common Documents Required for Each Certification Transaction Type.

In-Field Program

If you completed a program related to a field of certification you currently hold, and it did not lead to an additional field being added to your certificate, please ensure the following minimum documentation is submitted:

• Online application requesting an upgrade using the Applications link on the left-hand menu of your MyPSC Dashboard
• An official transcript reflecting your degree award date submitted electronically directly from the institution to mail@gapsc.com or by your human resources department through their institution’s GaPSC account if you are employed at a Georgia school
• A $20 processing fee completed through the Payments link on the left-hand menu of your MyPSC Dashboard or your human resources department may submit an electronic Employer Assurance Form through their institution’s GaPSC account if you are employed at a Georgia school which will negate the fee
