Apply for COC and ASCC

The COC is not related to obtaining a clear credential. The COC provides no authorization to provide instruction or services in schools; its sole purpose is to provide verification that the holder has completed a professional fitness review.

Like the COC, the ASCC identifies that the holder has completed the Commission's fingerprint character and identification process and provides no authorization to provide instruction or services in schools.

• See Credential Leaflet CL-900 for more information on the Certificate of Clearance (COC).
• See Credential Leaflet CL-891 for more information on the Activity Supervisor Clearance Certificate (ASCC).
  

Fingerprint Clearance

If not already completed, fill out the CTC-specific Form 41-LS and take 3 copies to a Live Scan station for your fingerprints to be taken. For additional fingerprint information, please visit the Fingerprint Information page.
