License Renewal

Professional - The renewal of a Colorado Professional License requires the completion of the equivalent of a minimum of six (6) semester or nine (9) quarter hours of credit. Only that credit earned after your license was issued and within the five (5) year period preceding the date of application will be accepted. Materials submitted for renewal of a license will not be returned.

Provisional - A Provisional License may be renewed for a period of three years if the holder has been unable to complete an approved induction program offered by a school district, board of cooperative services or other approved educational entities for reasons other than incompetence.

Please note, DPS does not accept Alternative Teacher Licenses.
