4. The applicant must apply for a temporary Athletic Coaching Certificate online through the Department of Education/Florida Teachers Bureau.

The applicant will need to provide a copy of his/her high school diploma or official transcripts from college to the Certification Department. The applicant will complete paperwork in Human Resources, and receive an ID Badge.

Under no circumstances will anyone be permitted on campus without completing ALL of the above procedures.

It is up to you to maintain a list of your Non-Instructional Paid Coaches.  Require them to submit their badge to you so you make a copy and file it with their other four documents.  At the end of the season or the end of the year, it is your responsibility to collect the badges of all non-instructional coaches.  If they return the next year, you will just re-issue; if they do not return you will return the badges to Human Resources.
