Note for Board of Examiners

It is likely to be time consuming for the Board of Examiners to locate materials referenced within various reports. Therefore, we uploaded the materials mentioned in reports to our NCATE web site and created hyperlinks from the documents, allowing the examiners to locate the referenced items with one mouse click. Thus, examiners are not likely to find materials not mentioned in reports from our web site. You will see secure items in the Blackboard Exhibit Room

Thank you.
