24/12 Exception

This exemption allows for some flexibility to occur during the hiring process. In certain circumstances a 24/12 exception will allow a district to hire you prior to passing your TExES contest test.

WCACP will review your transcripts during the application process to determine if you qualify for the 24/12 exception. To qualify, you must have 12 lower level credit hours and 12 upper level credit hours in a specific subject area.

The program strongly advocates taking your TExES content test early in the program to ensure you are considered highly qualified for the classroom. However, in certain circumstances the 24/12 exception allows you to be offered a teaching position outside of your main certification area.
