What is Admission to Candidacy?
Admission to Candidacy (ATC) is the process by which all students are formally admitted into Teacher Education Programs at NC State
ATC status is granted by the Office of Professional Education (OPE) after students have met certain qualifications
The qualifications are a combination of NC Department of Public Instruction (DPI) requirements and College of Education (CED) requirements
Once a student has been admitted he/she is referred to as a - CANDIDATE

In no case should a student who has not been admitted to Teacher Education Candidacy register for, or remain in, any block courses or any methods courses during or preceding the student teaching semester.
All teacher education candidates must be admitted to candidacy at least one full semester prior to the anticipated student teaching experience.
