Important
Students should know that individual states may withdraw from the contract upon one year’s written notice to each member and to NASDTEC. The safest course for anyone seeking certification in the future is to keep in touch with the Department of Education in the appropriate state.
Certification applicants should also be aware that other states, even those listed with whom New Hampshire has reciprocity, may require a different competency test than New Hampshire requires before certification will be issued, or impose other special requirements which must be met within a reasonable period of time. Students should check with the Department of Education in the state they will be teaching in to be sure.
Prior to graduation you will be mailed a teacher certification application form. A check for $80 payable to the State of New Hampshire must accompany the notarized application and be returned to the Registrar’s Office at Antioch New England. Your application will be endorsed and forwarded to the New Hampshire State Department of Education. Your certification will be mailed directly to you by the State, approximately six weeks after they receive your endorsed application.
Dual Certification
It is possible to earn certification in more than one field, e.g., biology and elementary education. Dual certification may be complex to achieve, and can require additional coursework and internship, possibly increasing your tuition and length of your program.
Students interested in dual certification should begin by talking with the chairperson or program director of the second field in which you wish to apply for certification. A Change of Status form, with the approval of the program director of the second certification program, must be completed and returned to the Registrar’s Office. Students are eligible for certification recommendations only if officially enrolled in a program leading to New Hampshire certification. Please contact the ANE certification officer for details.
If your plan requires you to extend your program length, you will be charged at the Extended Rate Tuition for each additional semester.
