Program Completion and Licensure
Candidates for initial Colorado Licensure are required by the Colorado Department of Education to demonstrate competence in content area knowledge (academic major) by successfully passing a state mandated test. Students who wish to take the test must register for the Program of Licensing for Colorado Educators (PLACE) examination directly with National Evaluation Systems. Test catalogs, testing dates and more information are available from the School of Teacher Education and the Department of Educational Foundations and Curriculum Studies in McKee 216.
Upon satisfactory completion of a teacher education program and any additional requirements imposed by state law, a student is eligible for institutional recommendation to the Colorado Department of Education for licensure in the State of Colorado. Recommendations for licensure are made only when students have successfully completed an approved teacher education program. A recommendation for licensure cannot be made when a student has completed only a teaching minor.
Upon completion of an approved program a student may be recommended for licensure in states other than Colorado. Completion of the UNC program does not assure licensure in other states, as there may be specific requirements not found in the Colorado requirements. Students expecting to seek licensure in other states should check with the School of Teacher Education and the Department of Educational Foundations and Curriculum Studies in McKee 216 or correspond with the respective State Department of Education early in their program to learn of any additional requirements.
PTEP/Licensure/Endorsement Areas
Programs listed under PTEP, Licensure and Endorsement areas have been approved by the Colorado State Board of Education for licensure/endorsement.
Additional information regarding licensure/endorsement areas is available through the School of Teacher Education and the Department of Educational Foundations and Curriculum Studies in McKee 216.
