  6. Application Fee of $102.65
      • You will receive an email from the CTC prompting you to pay this fee via debit or credit card after your formal recommendation for the Emergency 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permit has been made by BCOE Credentials following your appointment.
 
ATTENTION:
 
Fingerprint clearances through the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are required upon application for any CTC-issued credential, permit, or certificate, unless already on file at CTC. Individuals who have received fingerprint clearance through other employers or agencies (private, state, or government) are not exempt from this process.
  • If you currently hold a valid, unexpired CTC-issued credential, permit, or Certificate of Clearance, you will not need to re-fingerprint for the CTC. An expired document can be accepted only if it has been expired less than 18 months.
  • If you do not hold any valid document with the CTC, you may fingerprint for the CTC at the time of your appointment with BCOE Credentials. The cost of doing so is $63.00 payable by check or money order (no cash/credit/debit), made payable to “Butte County Office of Education”.
