Entitlement

Entitlement is the process of completing an Illinois approved teacher, administrative, or school service personnel program. If the applicant has successfully completed all program and coursework requirements, the entitling institution will send notification to the Illinois State Board of Education. Essentially, the entitling institution “recommends” that the applicant be issued a certificate. If all testing requirements have been met and the applicant meets all other statutory requirements, the certificate will be issued upon submission of all relevant documents and fees.* The following documents are required for an entitlement application:

  1. Application for Certificate (73-03C for Teaching, 73-03D for Administrative or School Service Personnel). The application must be signed and sealed by the entitling institution;
  2. $30 nonrefundable fee. The fee MUST be in the form of a money order made payable to the “State Superintendent of Education”

*Foreign applicants must also submit ISBE form 73-91 and proof of employment eligibility.
