Undergraduate Licensure
After completing the Professional Semester, you must apply for a license in order to be certified to teach in the state of North Carolina.
You need to complete the following forms to apply for a license:
Form 1 – Candidate for Professional Licensure Data Form
Form A – Application for a North Carolina License
After completing the forms, submit them to the Office of Professional Education along with several other documents:
-

Photocopies of official transcripts from previous colleges and universities
-
Personal Check, Money Order, or Credit Card payment for $55.00 payable to: Licensure Section, NCDPI
-
Praxis II scores (if applicable):
Note: NC license for Elementary (K-6) requires a combined score of 313 from Elementary Education: Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment (0011) and Elementary Education: Content Area Exercises (0012). There are no minimum scores.
It will take approximately 6 – 8 weeks for your license to arrive.
Occasionally, you will receive a job offer before you receive your license. In that case your potential employer will ask for a license verification letter. We will gladly generate a letter for you once you complete the process and submit the Verification Letter Request. Once the request is received we will process and submit the letter to the appropriate school district.
