<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The NC Board of Physical Therapy Examiners (NCBPTE), the physical therapy licensure board in NC, now participates in the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) alternate approval pathway (AAP) for exam eligibility. So what
does that mean for the schools and their <u>students who are seeking PT/PTA licensure in North Carolina</u>?

<b><u>or</u></b> the Registrar sends an official copy of the education transcripts to the NC Board of PT Examiners. Transcripts
<u>must </u>include<i> </i>the degree earned information. With either option, the documents can be sent together for all graduating program students.
