Transition points are a set of clearly defined benchmarks that allow educator preparation programs to monitor and communicate student progress from admission through program completion and, ultimately, certification/licensure. Each transition point has a set of program-specific criteria that must be met to move to the next stage of the program. Students use Anthology Portfolio to upload evidence of meeting transition point requirements. 

Relay’s Educator Preparation Program Transition Points are: 

1. Educator Preparation Program (EPP) Admission
2. Eligibility for Qualifying Clinical Experience
3. Educator Preparation Program (EPP) Completion
4. Certification/Licensure

Because program and certification/licensure requirements vary by state and program, Relay sets unique and specific deadlines for meeting the criteria associated with each transition point, and an expected date by which all requirements for a specific transition point should be met. To complete the educator preparation program requirements on the expected timeline, all requirements must be met by the established transition point deadline. Failure to meet transition point deadlines may result in the inability to register for an upcoming term or specific courses in an upcoming term, a delayed timeline for program completion, additional costs, and/or ineligibility for certification/licensure.
