Our top priority at NIU continues to be the health and well-being of our campus community. In fall 2020, the University Office of Educator Licensure and Preparation will operate remotely.
We are available Monday through Friday (8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.) for virtual meetings with opportunities for in-person interactions on Tuesday afternoons and Friday mornings. If you would like to schedule a meeting, either virtually or in person, please contact us at teachercertification@niu.edu.
