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]
  

To renew this initial issuance of an emergency permit, the holder must: (1) attend an orientation provided by the employing agency covering curriculum for the teaching assignment, classroom instruction, and classroom management; (2) obtain an evaluation by a Commission-accredited professional preparation institution identifying the requirements he or she must complete to be eligible for the related credential; (3) complete EITHER (a) six semester units or nine quarter units of approved course work in a Commission-accredited professional preparation program, or subject matter program, required for issuance of the related credential; OR (b) components of the appropriate subject matter examination(s), provided the holder has not yet completed the subject matter competence requirement for the related credential; (4) be assigned to an experienced educator appointed by the employing agency to provide guidance and assistance; and (5) apply for reissuance through his or her employing agency.
