​Please keep in mind that if you are opting for a NALCAP position in French, your Statement of Purpose must be written in French. If on the contrary, you are opting for a NALCAP position in English, then your statement must be written in English. Also please remember to check off the box for what language you would like to teach - English or French - on the application portal.

Please make sure NOT to use a college email address (or community mailbox), as these may have an expiration date and we may need to contact you. Gmail addresses work best. Thanks!

What is PROFEX?

It's our online portal that you will be using to submit your NALCAP application. It can get tricky at times but if you follow the handbook carefully, you will do great!

To begin, you can open a PROFEX account at anytime, as well as filling out your personal information and some curriculum/resume information. If you already have a PROFEX account, just log in.

We suggest not using a translator for PROFEX as it may cause glitches which may affect the information you have already completed/uploaded on your application. Just follow the videos below and the PROFEX handbook slowly and step-by-step.

Also note that the first and last days that the application period is open, it may get busy and the website may experience some issues. We apologize for any inconveniences and ask you for your patience.
