Step 3: After the required pd has been met, you may reinstate your CTE license. Click "Home" at the top left corner and select "Reinstatements". 

Step 4: Answer each of the background questions as they apply to you. The last question must be answered "Yes" as this verifies you have answered the background questions truthfully. When finished, click "Next". 

Step 5: To reinstate your license, you must pay a $50 reinstatement fee OR have completed nine semester hours of coursework within the last five years in the areas aligning with your endorsement area.

Step 6: Select a primary region in which you would like to register your license in. Kane County is region 31. Then click "Next".

Step 7: Answer the two questions as they apply to your. Once you answer "Yes" to both questions, the "Submit Payment" button will appear. Select "Submit Payment" to enter your card information on the next screen if you are paying the $50 reinstatement fee. If you selected the nine semester hours of coursework option, then the fee amount will say $0.00.

Step 8: Once you submit payment information, a confirmation page will state you have successfully renewed and registered your license. 

If you'd like a copy of your renewed license, select the "My Credentials" tab. If you do not see your endorsements on this page, click "select" next to your CTE license. Finally, select your computer's print option and print the page or save it to your computer. This serves as a copy of your license.
