About Applying for Licenses and Endorsements

Upon completion of all of your course requirements, the posting of your degree (if applicable) and earning passing scores on the appropriate licensure/endorsement examinations (if needed), all candidates must apply for their license through the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) application portal. First-time users of the ODE application portal must set up an OH|ID account and request a state ID. 

The Ohio Department of Education CORE User Manual provides step-by-step instructions for applying for a teaching credential through the ODE application portal.
 

Additional Documentation Needed

If you are applying for one of the following licenses, you must provide additional documentation:

• Principal: Provide letter(s) on school letterhead documenting two years teaching under a provisional or professional teaching license at the age levels for which the principal license is sought.
• Superintendent: Provide letter(s) on school letterhead documenting three years working under a 5-Year Professional Principal license.
• Curriculum Instruction and Professional Development (CIPD): Provide letter(s) on school letterhead documenting two years of teaching under a professional teaching license.
