If you are working toward an endorsement only, and are NOT interested in getting a Master's degree, you should be sure that you check the "Seeking certification but no graduate degree" box on the Graduate School application. If you have done this, you will NOT need to submit ALL official transcripts and may submit ONLY the one showing your last degree.

Having a letter of acceptance from the Graduate School does NOT necessarily mean that you have been accepted into Project VISION. In order to be accepted into our program, you MUST have a signed letter from Frankie Swift stating that you have been accepted to participate in Project VISION by the Application Committee.
