Self-Reported Misconduct

Applicant Disclosure

Applicants must fully and accurately answer all of the professional fitness questions and complete the appropriate explanation form(s). If you have not already completed the Personal and Professional Fitness Explanation Form, please complete and submit the form, along with any required police reports, certified court records and miscellaneous documents, to the Division of Professional Practices for review.

Educators Under Review

If your application is being reviewed by the DPP because of allegations of misconduct or if you answered yes to a Professional Fitness Question on your application, your application will be delayed. The processing time of 10 days for on-line applications and 50 days for mailed applications is not applicable when an application must be reviewed to determine professional fitness.

Failure To Disclose

If you did not complete the Personal and Professional Fitness Explanation Forms, you may receive a letter titled "Final Notice of Incomplete Application" from DPP requesting that you submit any police reports, certified court records, or miscellaneous documents regarding your situation. Failure to provide the requested documents by the required deadline will result in rejection of your application.

If you would like to check the status of your application you may e-mail us at DPPInfo@ctc.ca.gov. PLEASE NOTE: the same staff that responds to emails also processes applications. Repeated emails to staff will only cause further delays to your application.
