Self-Managed Credential Files: Alumni Information All education alumni are encouraged to begin a self-managed credential file prior to conducting a job search. Career Services is available to assist in this process. Self-managed files are accepted by school districts nationwide and are both less expensive and more efficient than university-managed files. Resources for Creating a Self-Managed Credential File: Self-Managed Credential File Guide New Credential Policy: As of July 1, 2008 all new education majors will have self-managed credential files. Elimination of files not used in the past 10 years began June 2008. As of Sept. 1, 2013, Washburn Career Services will no longer retain any credential files. Your existing file will be retained until Sept. 1 2013, or until 10 years of dormancy has been reached. The decision to end university-management of credential files was reached after extensive research and consultation with school districts, other university career services offices, and the WU education department. Self-managed files allow candidates the flexibility to adapt the application to the method requested by each school district and give candidates complete control over the process.
