TExES Teacher Certification Exam Application Requesting Attempt (more information)
If you can access the Watermark SL&L Home Page through a Blackboard link (in a course or organization) use this to get to the Program Applications link on the SL&L Home Page.
Currently enrolled, active candidates should click here if they cannot access SL&L through Blackboard.
If you use the link above and receive a message “Incorrect email or password” then click on the Forgot Password link and follow the instructions – this sets your SL&L password which is not the same as your Sul Ross password. Note that this DOES NOT change your main Sul Ross password! Details here.
After logging in to Watermark Student Learning and Licensure (SL&L), navigate to Program Applications on the left, click the START AN APPLICATION button, then choose the needed Application to take a TExES Exam from the list (scroll down if needed) – there are five of these Applications in SLL:
- FIRST ATTEMPT Teacher Certification Content Exam (list includes STR),
- SECOND ATTEMPT Teacher Certification Content Exam (list includes STR),
- FIRST ATTEMPT PPR Exam,
- SECOND ATTEMPT PPR Exam, and
- Graduate Level Exams
Students who need a third or subsequent attempt on either a Content Exam or the PPR exam should email edcertification@sulross.edu.
You may need to log in to the Sul Ross SSO (single sign on) and authenticate with DUO. Note: All students are required to meet all prerequisites including success on a practice test prior to approval. Graduate level students (educational diagnostician, principal, school counselor, and superintendent) must submit practice test results showing a 90% pass rate on Certify Teacher.
Please note that evidence or your most recent practice exam attempts cannot be more than 90 days old.
Former SRSU students or SRSU students not currently enrolled can still apply for a TExES attempt using the links below
