General Information about Add On Licensure
WHAT? Requesting a plan of study to add another licensure area to your present license.
WHO? People who hold a current NC teaching license.
HOW? Send the following to the Office of Alternative Licensure:
- email of intent requesting a plan of study for the area you wish to add
- a copy of your current NC teaching license
- a copy of all official transcripts
Once your transcripts have been evaluated your Add-On plan will be emailed to you (usually within 2-3 weeks). You can then choose whether or not you wish to affiliate with ECU and enroll in the program (see Add-On Plan Step-by-Step Guide (PDF)).

Institutional and Professional Licensure Disclosures for Enrolled and Prospective Students
ECU degree programs satisfy the professional licensure and/or certification requirements in North Carolina and prepare students to sit for these exams. However, requirements in other states may be different.
If you are considering a degree program that may, would, could or potentially lead to a professional license and/or certification, please note that at this time ECU may or may not be able to advise whether a program meets requirements outside of North Carolina. Prior to enrolling in a degree program, please discuss this important topic with your program of interest.
