We will schedule monthly zoom meetings to offer LPDC Preparation Assistance to any educators who would like to attend. During the meeting the LPDC Chair, Christina Ray, will be reviewing the process for submitting items to the LPDC and how to renew your license online on the ODE site.

Renew a License

All educators now use the Connected Ohio Records for Educators (CORE) system exclusively to renew their licenses, permits, or certificates online. The online process provides a secure environment for educators to update their demographic data and pay licensure fees using a credit card or electronic check.

Before starting your renewal application, be sure your background check is still valid.

Important

No pre-approval of coursework: Applicants do not need to seek pre-approval of coursework from the Ohio Department of Education. The Department does not pre-approve coursework. Applicants should select coursework related to classroom teaching and/or the area of licensure.

Accreditation: Coursework must be completed at an accredited college or university. To verify accreditation, check with the college or university directly or check here .
