NOTES:

*North Carolina – Students who are interested in counselor licensure in states outside of NC are encouraged to consult with the appropriate state licensing board for specific requirements. The following links provide additional information on the requirements by state along with the contact for obtaining that information. However, referencing these links should not substitute for a consultation with the state department of education as these licensure requirements are subject to change at unpredictable intervals. 

Students are informed during the admissions process, at new student orientation, in practicum and internship meetings, and individual meetings with their advisor.
