• From the next page, select the View My Educator Certification Account link to access your “blue screen” ECOS page.
• Update any personal information if it prompts you to do so.
• From the main menu on the lefthand side, click the Applications dropdown.
• Then choose the first option, Standard Certificate Texas Program, and click apply.
• Complete the application, and when you get to the recommendation entity dropdown box, be sure to select, Sul Ross State University – University Based (if graduated with a bachelor’s or master’s degree) OR  Alternative (if graduated as non-degree / certification only)
