Teacher Credentials
NCE teacher licensure programs may meet credential requirements for states other than Illinois. Since specific requirements vary, students should obtain information from the state in which they plan to teach.
Students seeking licensure by entitlement may obtain applications for licensure at www.isbe.net/licensure/ or apply through NLU.
Illinois law prohibits the licensure and/or employment of persons convicted of specific crimes. Students seeking an endorsement for professional licensure through NCE who have been convicted of one of the offenses identified by Illinois law may be ineligible for licensure or employment as a school professional.
