April 10, 2019 - The eLicensing portal used for processing all licensure applications is currently being upgraded to a better and more improved version! We are thrilled to announce that these exciting new upgrades will allow everyone more freedom & control over your TSPC record and documents. This is a huge migration & we sincerely appreciate your patience in advance as we migrate all your data & fully transition into the new eLicensing portal.
Our staff is undergoing rigorous training to help support you with the new system. We anticipate that everything will be running seamlessly by the beginning of May 2019. Until then, please be prepared that should you need to call our office or reach out to us via email, that we may not be able to answer your questions or concerns in as timely of a manner.
