Three-year Substitute Teaching Permit Requirements

A 3-year substitute permit may be granted to a person who holds a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution but who did not complete a state-approved educator preparation program. The substitute permit allows the holder to serve as a short-term substitute only (20 consecutive days or fewer in the same assignment).

This permit may be issued when a school district has a shortage of licensed substitute teachers. It must be requested by the employing school district on the applicant's behalf and the district must have a plan to provide training to the substitute permit holder. The PI-1602-SP application form includes a "School District Request" section to be completed by the superintendent or designated official of the school district for this purpose.

To request issuance or renewal of a 3-year substitute permit, submit the following materials.

1. A completed PI-1602-SP License Application form including the School District Request on Page 2.
   
   
2. An original transcript verifying that the applicant has earned a bachelor's degree from an accredited college. (not required for renewals)
   
   
3. The Conduct and Competency Review (included in the PI-1602-SP application form).
   
   
4. Fingerprints if required.
   
   
5. The processing fee of $100.
