Important Educator Updates from
Illinois State Board of Education

Educators have been allowed to carry over unused professional development hours completed between April 1 and June 30 of the final year of their renewal cycle to the next five-year renewal cycle since April 1, 2017.
  • The Educator Licensure Information System (ELIS) will not carry over professional development hours that have not been entered by the educator prior to renewing their license.
  • If the educator is planning to complete additional PD hours during their renewal cycle, they will need to wait to renew their license. This includes PD hours the educator plans to complete during the summer months.
  • There is a grace period between June 30-August 31, for educators who need more time to complete PD hours before they renew their license.
  • Once an educator is finished recording all PD hours for their renewal cycle, ELIS will then automatically roll over any excess PD hours to the next cycle if the professional development activity has a start and end date between April 1 and June 30 of the final year of their renewal cycle.
