  1. All candidates submit an unofficial transcript or copy of a KDP-written invitation when applying.
  2. Degree-seeking students will be enrolled in or have already completed 6 hours of education courses; have a minimum collegiate GPA of 3.0 (or the equivalent of 3.0 on a 4.0 grading scale if a different system is used by the institution).
  3. Support KDP’s mission, vision, and values.
  4. Alternative Certification candidates with a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree will be enrolled in or have already completed 6 hours of education courses and support KDP’s mission, vision, and values.
