Getting Started in Lateral Entry

To enroll in GTCC’s Lateral Entry Program, you need to have the following:

1. a completed GTCC application
2. a North Carolina lateral entry license
3. an appointment letter (or employment contract) from the Guilford County School System’s Human Resource Office
4. a bachelor’s degree (offical transcripts) from a regionally accredited institution
5. a program of study plan from the Regional Alternative Licensing Center (RALC)—Region 2

After you have gathered the required documents, contact the Teacher Education Academy, at 336.334.4822 x 2491 to set up an appointment for application, advising, and registration.

To become fully licensed, the Guilford County School System Human Resource Office/Licensing Department will submit your transcripts and documentation of achievement of other criteria required by DPI to the RALC for final review. GTCC is not a licensing agency.
