Approvals will only be listed for counselors who are currently seeking a credential. A message indicating someone has “NO APPROVALS WERE FOUND” or “NO CERTIFICATIONS WERE FOUND” means they have applied to the NCSAPPB but do not yet hold REGISTRATION status.

If a counselor is already fully credentialed, it is likely that no approvals will be found unless that counselor is currently pursuing an additional credential.
