Do I need advance approval for courses before I register?
No, but an advisor is available any time you have questions (317.274.6801).
I need to renew my license. What is appropriate course work?
Appropriate course work is any graduate-level course (500 or above) either in education (EDUC) or in the major or minor area of the license. You may not retake a course you have already taken.
Do workshop courses (W505) count towards renewing my license?
Workshop courses (W505) offered for three graduate credits in Education will count. All the three-credit courses can be used to renew an Indiana teaching license. Additionally, CRUs and PGPs are available for non-credit professional development opportunities.
Can workshops or courses with satisfactory/fail grading be used for license renewal?
Yes, as long as a satisfactory grade is received.
Will the courses I take for renewal apply later to a graduate degree?
There is no guarantee that any course will apply toward a graduate degree until you are officially admitted to a graduate program and receive approval from your assigned faculty advisor.
How do I apply to take classes for renewal?
If you have not taken graduate courses at the Indiana University School of Education at Indianapolis, you must first be admitted to the school. See graduate application options. We strongly encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible because it will take approximately 7-10 business days before it is processed and you can register for a course. You will receive an e-mail when you have been admitted to the School of Education and have clearance to register. A $60 non-refundable application fee is due at the time of application.
If you have previously taken a graduate course in summer 2011 or later, there is no need to reapply; however, you need to have your registration status updated. To do this, send an e-mail to sabrande@iupui.edu and state in the subject line "REINSTATEMENT FOR LICENSE RENEWAL." The following information is needed in order to complete this process: name(s) listed with the university, last 4 digits of SSN, and date of birth. You will receive a follow-up e-mail once the reinstatement is complete.
I earned my undergraduate degree from IUPUI. Do I have to apply to take classes for renewal?
Yes. If you have not yet been admitted to graduate school, you must apply.
If I am taking classes only for renewal, must I pay graduate fees?
Yes. As a graduate non-degree seeking student, you will be required to pay graduate fees.
My license expires this summer. Can I take six hours in the last summer session and still have enough time to renew my license before school starts?
No. You probably will not receive your renewed license until mid-September. However, if your school corporation requires evidence that the renewal is in progress, you may request a verification letter (letter of eligibility) after your courses are completed and your application has been submitted. Get the request form (PDF).
I have completed my coursework. Where can I find the state license renewal application?
Please visit our Licensing section for helpful tips and the link to the Indiana Teacher Online Licensing System. The license renewal process is now entirely online.
When do I submit the state application?
Your application should be submitted upon completion of the six (6) credits of appropriate course work, but no more than two months prior to the license expiration date. Renewals are valid for five years from the date of issuance. The fee to renew your license is $36.72. After the Licensing Advisor has verified your completion and grade for the course, your application will be routed to the Division of Professional Standards.
What if I took half of my renewal coursework at IUPUI and half at another iniversity?
Either university can process your license renewal application. If you want IUPUI to process your application, you must submit an official transcript showing the three hours not taken at IUPUI.
Where can I go for more information about license renewal at IUPUI?
Please refer to the Office of Educator Licensing and Development at the Indiana Department of Education for up-to-date information regarding licensing and license renewal, or check the IUPUI School of Education licensing page.
