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 credential the holder may be required to complete one or all of the following: developing English Language Skills, including Reading; provisions and principles of the U.S. Constitution; subject matter competence. In addition, the holder must complete all of the requirements listed in one of the following options: (1) a Commission-approved Induction Program including a formal recommendation from the program sponsor and a valid CPR card (Infant, Child and Adult class); or (2) a California Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA), and health education and special education, and appropriate computer-based technology; or (3) fifth year of study including a formal recommendation from the college or university, and health education, and special education, and appropriate computer-based technology.
