Career Services
offers credential file service in support of your application for a
teaching position or admission to graduate school.
Eligibility:
Credential files (sometimes called
"placement" files) are available to
students who have taken at least 15 credits at MSU Billings and
to alumni who register with Career Services. These files are especially
useful to grads who are applying to graduate or professional schools
or who are applying for professional employment as teachers.
Contents: Credential files are kept in printed
copy at Career Services and are photocopied for mailing. The files
contain information such as job objectives, summaries of educational
history and work experience, records of special honors and skills,
and letters of recommendation.
You should complete your file well before you begin your job search
or grad school application process. In fact, it's best if you've
established your file before you begin student teaching.

Credential file forms can be viewed and printed
online with the freely available Adobe Acrobat Reader program, and
many of them can be filled out online. You will still
need to print, sign, and submit the forms to Career Services.
