I understand that I may be denied a North Carolina teaching license if I have any felony convictions.

I understand that to be admitted to the program, I must achieve a passing score on the Praxis I test unless I have an ACT composite score of 24 or an SAT total score of 1170 (verbal and quantitative only). I will provide the licensure officer with a copy of my scores or arrange to take the Praxis.
