Office of Field Experience

You will become well acquainted with staff in the Office of Field Experience and Licensure (OFEX). We manage the application and admission process for the Teacher Education Program, work with school divisions to place teacher candidates in schools, and serve as resources when concerns arise in field placements. When you successfully complete your program, we submit your licensure application to the state. Above all, we are problem solvers.

Important OFEX Dates

These meetings are for undergraduate, graduate, and transfer students interested in applying to the Teacher Education Program to earn Teacher Candidate status and begin field placement.  Attend one meeting a year before you will apply to the Teacher Education Program.  For more information on when to attend a Mandatory Informational Meeting, see Step 6 of Undergraduate Teacher Preparation or Transfer Student Teacher Preparation. Graduate students interested in pursuing teacher licensure should attend a Mandatory Informational Meeting.
