School Media Specialist Time!

I have officially signed up for the School Media certification at school. Now I just need to purchase a subscription to the e-portfolio software they use to keep track of/evaluate our work for it. And figure out how/where to get fingerprinting and background check (plus the proof of these things) for my application to the graduate teacher education program. I've got time - those things aren't absolutely necessary until before my last semester's internship, but still. I don't know how long it takes to do these things.
