Appendix R Rev. 6/12/2024

LOCAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

The following is a selected listing of approved On-Line Colleges and Universities OUTSIDE of Ohio.
Coursework taken from these colleges and universities is acceptable for License Renewal and for Salary Schedule Advancement (if approved by your local district). This list will be updated as new inquiries are received and approved by the Ohio Board of Regents. We remind teachers taking work through those institutions listed here or any college or university, all courses must appropriately support the implementation of the goals and activities that are on your approved IPDP, and be directly related to your licensure area.

We also alert teachers that coursework taken from these colleges and universities may not be accepted by SBOE as legitimate work for acquiring licensure in an additional field (e.g., administration). Using these colleges and universities to earn a masters degree in your current field of licensure/certification will probably be acceptable, but an inquiry to SBOE for verification prior to beginning coursework is advised. If a college or university outside of Ohio does not seek authorization from the Ohio Board of Regents to operate as an approved institution of higher learning in Ohio, SBOE most likely will not approve coursework for acquiring an
additional field of licensure. We strongly advise getting approval from SBOE Division of Licensure/Certification ‘Prior To Beginning’ 
coursework to add a field of licensure to your current license.
