Download Policy 5050 P2 Licensure: Renewals and Upgrades

Level 1 License Renewal Steps

Level 1 license holders must earn at least 100 renewal points in order to renew their license. However, Level 1 licenses may only be renewed if the individual has less than three (3) years of experience in Utah public or accredited private schools. If the individual has this experience, they must upgrade to a Level 2 license by meeting the Entry Years Enhancement (E.Y.E.)* requirements.

If you are unsure as to whether you can renew your Level 1 license, please call the USBE general licensing help number at (801) 538-7740.

Additionally, Utah Code requires that licensed educators currently employed by a district or charter school must include at least two (2) hours of suicide prevention training as part of their license renewal activities. This training is required to be provided by your district; contact your principal or HR director for more information.

Level 2/3 License Renewal Steps

Level 2 and Level 3 license holders must earn at least 200 renewal points in order to renew their license. If you have any questions, please call the USBE general licensing help number at (801) 538-7740. Additionally, Utah Code requires that licensed educators currently employed by a district or charter school must include at least two (2) hours of suicide prevention training as part of their license renewal activities. This training is required to be provided by your district; contact your principal or HR director for more information.

All Utah Educator Licenses expire on June 30th of the appropriate year. If your license is currently valid and has not expired, then you will need to complete most of the steps between January 1st and June 30th of the year that your license expires. If your license has expired and you wish to renew your license, you may complete the steps at any time.
