- Call ESPB at 701-328-9641. Tell us that you have created your online account but need to apply for the School Psychologist Intern License. If you have a teaching license, we’ll have you apply for an endorsement, not a license.
- Once your application is started by ESPB, you’ll be able to log into your account and submit the application and pay the online fee. Fees are as follows:
- One-time application fee $30. (If you have a teaching license or sub license you paid this and won’t be charged again.)

- $80 for the School Psychology Intern Endorsement – For those who have a teaching license in ND already.
- Submit these additional items to ESPB. Items can be uploaded to your application in NDTeach.
- Official transcript from your undergraduate degree and your official graduate transcript. Most colleges use an electronic service. You can order your official electronic transcript to be sent to yourself, save as a PDF document, and upload to your application. (If you have a license and we already have your bachelor’s official transcripts – no need to send again.)
- Signed/dated letter from your college advisor stating you are eligible for enrollment in the school psychology internship.
- Documentation from your college/advisor outlining the remaining coursework and anticipated completion date of your specialists degree or higher in school psychology.
