Applying for an Exception
If you receive a denial letter, or if you know that you are not qualified to receive the credential you are applying for, you have an option to request an exception. To request an exception, you need to send a letter stating what you would like an exception on and what basis you are reasoning.
- Here is a sample letter requesting an exception on the related degree.
- Here is a sample letter requesting an exception if occupational experience requirement is not met.
- Here is a sample letter requesting an exception on the required CTE classes.
All exception requests are sent to the Board-Designated Oversight Committee for Credentialing (BDOC) for review. This group will review the entire application as submitted including transcripts, occupational experience and the letter requesting the exception. The BDOC then submits their recommendation to CCCS for review and acceptance or modification of the application.
