Licensure Information

Our department and the Regional Offices of Education do not automatically start the licensure process for students. Students must initiate and apply for their Illinois Teacher Leader Endorsement, Principal Endorsement, or Superintendent Endorsement through the EIU Department of Educational Leadership and College of Education, as follows:

REQUIREMENTS FOR LICENSURE

Master's Degree in Education / Teacher Leader Endorsement (MSED)

  • Successful completion of MSED degree in Educational Leadership (Teacher Leader)

 

Master's Degree in Education / Principal Endorsement (MSED + PEP)

 

Specialist Degree in Education / Superintendent's Endorsement (EDS)

 

ENDORSEMENT APPLICATION PROCESS

Current Students or Alumni Who Have Completed Requirements in the Past Three (3) Years

Students who have completed the degree requirements for licensure in the past three years must complete the following forms:


Please send the above completed documents to:

Department of Educational Leadership
Eastern Illinois University
2320 Buzzard Hall
600 Lincoln Avenue
Charleston, IL 61920

Once the forms have been processed you will be sent an email outlining what you need to do to complete the process. It is very important that you do not apply for your endorsement directly with ISBE prior to being notified.

Students are now responsible for sending their official transcripts to the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). This includes any universities as to which transfer coursework has been applied toward the degree of completion or licensure.

Additional questions about this process may be directed to either the EIU Department of Educational Leadership office (edadmin@eiu.edu or 217-581-2919) or the EIU College of Education dean's office (cmhooser@eiu.edu or 217-581-2524).

 

Alumni Who Have Completed Requirements Beyond Three (3) Years

Students who have completed the degree requirements/requirements for an endorsement beyond three years should contact the EIU College of Education associate dean (Dr. Christy Hooser) at cmhooser@eiu.edu or (217) 581-2524.
