Educators will receive a reminder email from ISBE when it is time to renew their license. To renew, educators can log into their ELIS account starting April 1 of the year their license expires. Click the “Helpful Renewal Resources” dropdown below for step-by-step renewal instructions.

If your license requires professional development hours and/or Administrator Academies hours and the renewal option is not available, make sure all hours are met and entered on your Professional Development tab and adjust your employment status accordingly, if needed. Click How Do I Update My Employment Status for step-by-step instructions. You will not be able to renew until all PD/AA requirements are met.

Important Information

Registration Requirements

As you are processing your renewal, you will need to make sure that you register your license in Kane County (31-KANE ROE) so that it is considered valid for working within School District U-46.

Renewal must be completed by August 31, 2024 or your license will lapse. Once your license has lapsed, you will no longer be able to be employed by the district because you will not have a valid educator license. Additionally, you would need to go through the reinstatement process, which could include additional fees.
