Criteria is the plural - Criterion is the singular.
Using criterions as a plural is also incorrect - or at least, not intellectual
Common mistake though.

The singular is criterion.
The plural is criteria (if you want to sound thoroughly academic) or criterions (if you want to sound less academic).
