North Carolina Substitute Teacher Requirements

To substitute teach in Asheville, you must meet these North Carolina state requirements:

Education Requirements

North Carolina offers two tiers of substitute teaching. A licensed substitute must hold a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution. A non-licensed substitute may qualify with a high school diploma or GED, though employment options and pay may be more limited at the district level.

Background Check

All substitute teacher applicants must undergo a comprehensive criminal background check, including fingerprinting processed through the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) and the FBI. Any history of felony convictions or certain misdemeanors may disqualify an applicant. Background checks must be completed before any classroom assignment.

Age Requirements

Substitute teachers in North Carolina must be at least 18 years of age. This minimum age requirement applies to both licensed and non-licensed substitute categories.

Application Process

Applicants should apply through the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (DPI) for a substitute teaching license or directly through individual school districts for non-licensed positions. The application typically requires official transcripts, identification documents, and background check authorization. Processing times vary, so early application is recommended.
