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:

  • To renew this credential, the holder must complete two years of successful full-time experience in a position requiring this credential and must obtain the recommendation of a college or university with a Commission-approved program verifying the completion of advanced study in school administration, including appropriate field experience. At least half of the program must be completed while the holder is employed in a position requiring this credential. If the holder is unable to obtain employment as an administrator until too late to complete the requirements during the valid period of this credential, he or she may apply for a three-year extension from the date of employment, as long as the prerequisite credential is also valid during that period of time.
