NCACTE DUES INFORMATION
Updated: 5/8/2022

How are NCACTE dues determined? 
NCACTE’s dues structure is based on enrollment as reported in the NC EPP Performance Report and follows the AACTE/ATE models. Enrollments are reassessed every two years; the next assessment will be based on the 2021-22 EPP Performance Reports due in June 2022. Please note that institutional membership dues will increase by $100 beginning in AY 2022-23 per our membership vote in 2020. A copy of the fee structures is included on this website.
