It is the student’s responsibility to submit their request for certification.

All in all, this process, according to OSFM can take 30- 90 days after you take the test; however, OSFM could have the information uploaded in as early as 30 days but they request that students be patient. Once the 60-day limit has passed and your class is not listed on your transcript, contact us so that we can investigate if there is a problem.
