About Certification
Student Affairs Educator Certification Core and Specialty Area credentials demonstrate knowledge and competencies in eight established domains of student affairs work. Over 375 student affairs professionals became Certified Student Affairs Educators throughout the duration of this program. The current program is concluding effective July 1, 2026, as our founding partner associations consider alternative models of credentialing to support the profession. Achieving certification is a significant professional milestone and all granted credentials remain valid through their respective expiration date. Please visit the corresponding certification page on this website for more information.
Ongoing Learning
At its core, certification is about lifelong learning. Credentials inform and evolve practice in student affairs work, and benefits students, institutions, and the field! All Certified Student Affairs Educators are encouraged to continue to engage in ongoing professional development.
