If you are enrolling in college coursework and would like to know if the class will count towards fulfilling your deficiency, follow the steps below:

First, check The Illinois State Board of Educations (ISBE) Approved Coursework list: https://www.isbe.net/Pages/Licensure-Approved-Coursework.aspx. Coursework on this list has already been approved by ISBE.

If you do not see the course on the list of approved coursework, you may submit a request for pre-approval 80-07 for up to 3 classes. ISBE will confirm whether or not they will accept the course(s). Please follow the instructions on the form. Skip section II - Re-Evaluation of Coursework. You may submit the completed form and official course descriptions to [email protected] for faster processing.
