These instructions provide the student with an overview on uploading their clearances for the Educator Prep Program.

  • To begin the process of uploading clearance documents, it is best to have them ready for upload in a PDF format and clearly named as a particular type of clearance. (ie: PA Child Abuse 2026)
  • From the RamPortal Homepage, click on the Student Forms card.
