North Dakota Re-Education Endorsement Plans
Endorsements are issued by the Education Standards and Practice Board (ESPB). Additional information may be obtained from the Education Standards and Practice Board, 600 East Boulevard Avenue, Dept. 202, Bismarck, ND 58505-0080 (701) 328-2264. A student seeking an endorsement should access the ESPB Web site for a list of required course work. The student will list courses already taken and courses that he/she intends to take on the form provided. This form must be approved by ESPB as part of obtaining each endorsement. Although education graduate faculty can assist students in planning, the student seeking an endorsement is typically a non-degree seeking student and therefore does not have an official advisor in the Division of Education. Access the ESPB Web site at www.state.nd.us/espb.
