Guidelines for Substitute Teachers to Renew their Teaching License

A teacher as defined in G.S. 115C-325(6) who has (i) 30 or more years of teaching experience in North Carolina upon the date of retirement of the teacher and (ii) served as a substitute teacher at least once every three years since retirement.

For retired teachers serving as substitutes seeking a continuing license who qualify under sub- subdivision a. of this subdivision, at least 640 hours of documented substitute teaching each renewal cycle and eight hours of annual professional development approved by a local school administrative unit. The teacher must have retired with 30 years of teaching completed. For teachers retiring with a combination of teaching years and leave to add up to 30 years, this will not be accepted.

For substitutes needing to complete CEUs, at least three credits are required in a teacher's academic subject area. The remaining five can be in any general area.

The last license renewal received prior to retirement shall remain in effect for five years after retirement. Due NC General Statue 115C-296(b), NCDPI's Licensure Section has established a 5-year window, immediately following the retirement date, during which a teacher is not required to obtain CEUs, regardless of when the teacher's license actually expires. (This is when we use your orbit) The 5- year window begins at retirement. If a teacher otherwise licensed at retirement applies for a renewal of a license during the 5-year window, the Licensure Section will issue a 'new' or renewed license notwithstanding the absence of CEUs during the 5-year period.

Breakdown Example:

5-year license cycle is 7/1/2011 to 6/30/2016 Retirement date is 7/1/2013 Eligible for renewal without CEUs from 7/1/2013 to 6/30/2018 Any renewals for this license after 6/30/2018 will require CEUs

Please submit Renewal documentation to the DPI website, by setting up an account or logging into your already established account and pay required fee. If you need to contact DPI by phone, their number is 919-807-3315.

The links below are websites where CEU courses can be found. Please be advised there is a charge for most of the courses. There are no stipulations as to where you obtain CEUs from, as long as you are provided with a certificate of completion at the end.
