An applicant can renew their license 6 months prior to their expiration date.
To renew a license, log into your ND Teach account here. Click "Begin Application" and then "Renew License".
The requirements for renewal of a license depends on the type of license an applicant currently holds. The online application will ask questions to help determine the appropriate license for which one is qualified to apply. Once the online application is submitted, the applicant will be able to view "To Do Items" which tell the applicant what is needed for renewal. Any unofficial transcripts or other documents can be emailed to ESPB at espbinfo@nd.gov.
If you currently hold a 5 year license, the re-education requirement is 6 semester hours of college coursework. Those 6 credits do need to be completed during the 5 year time period that you hold the 5 year license. We ask that the courses you take to renew your 5 year license relate to education and/or what you are licensed to teach. If you have any questions about the credits needed to renew a license, call us at 701.328.9641.
