New Jersey recently adopted a new application system for certification called the NJEdCert portal. TCIS has been retired as of May 31, 2022, and the NJ VOPC form is no longer accepted.
This new system now sends an automated email notice based on who the applicant identifies in their application. Students need to input coeverification@wilmu.edu in the Educator Preparation Program section per the email address so Wilmington University can receive and begin processing their request. During this transition, you may receive an email notice. Please know this email is valid and is not a spam or phishing. If you receive any of these messages, please forward all to coeverification@wilmu.edu.
