Attention: Education Candidates Seeking Kentucky Licensure

The Kentucky EPSB is considering a regulation that will impact licensure applicants who complete their coursework at an out-of-state institution.  This regulation will require candidates completing licensure requirements at an out-of-state institution to meet that state's licensure requirements, including testing, before applying for a Kentucky license. Candidates must also meet the Kentucky testing requirements.  Candidates should continue to check with the IU Southeast license officers and/or the EPSB website for the date that this regulation will take effect.
