Subject Matter Competency CSET Waiver Application Request
All credential candidates must demonstrate their proficiency in the subject matter area of their intended credential. The CTC separates the required subject matter content into subtests, with each subtest covering specific domains (areas of knowledge).
In order to receive a waiver from a subtest, applicants must provide evidence of having passed coursework with a C or better that covers all of the content within that subtest.
*Please note this application will only apply to CSUSM students or alumni. Other non-csusm student or alumni applicants will not be looked at. Incomplete applications will automatically be disqualified and not looked at.*
