Teacher education candidates are responsible for having exam score reports sent to UNA and the ALSDE. If you do not request a score report for these recipients, it will cost you an additional $40 fee with ETS to send at a later date. Request that your score report be sent to UNA 1735 and AL State Department 7020.

Teacher education candidates must pass the PRAXIS II exam(s) for your area of certification BEFORE student internship.
