Renewal Codes

The Commission on Teacher Credentialing issues various types of credentials, certificates, and permits. Many of these documents require renewal on a regular basis. It is the credential holder's responsibility to complete the requirements for the renewal of their document. The renewal code(s) and renewal requirement(s) for each credential, certificate, and permit were printed on the face of the document until September 1, 2008. Since that date, all documents issued by the Commission are available only in a view and print format, available on the Commission's website.

Here are some examples of where the renewal code can be found on your credential if it was issued prior to September 1, 2008:

• For credentials issued through the early part of 2005 [PDF]
• For credentials issued shortly after the start of 2005 [PDF]
  

The holder of this emergency permit has used the appeal available one time only to applicants who, due to exceptional circumstances, were unable to complete the required course work for renewal. No further appeal will be issued. To renew this emergency permit for an additional three-year period, the holder must complete ten semester hours of course work applicable toward a regular permit or a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university and must receive a completed statement of need from the employing district, county, or agency. To receive a regular permit, the holder must verify the completion of the following requirements: twenty-four semester hours of course work in early childhood education, two years or the equivalent of experience in a child development program, and sixteen semester hours of course work in general education.
