Step 5: Have your official course transcript sent directly to GSEHD Admissions Office. Please note the following: You must receive at least a C in any coursework that you want to count for your general education requirements. You may not have more than three outstanding courses before beginning the program. **Note on testing required for DC teacher certification: The PRAXIS I exam is no longer required for admission into GW, however, it is required for DC certification.

The PRAXIS II exam is also required for certification, but is taken later on during the program.
