Indiana Teacher FAQs: License Renewal & Salary Advancement
How do Upward courses count toward my Indiana teacher license renewal?
The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) allows you to renew a 5-year Proficient or 10-year Accomplished Practitioner license via the Coursework Path.
Indiana requires 6 semester hours of graduate-level coursework for renewal. Because each Upward course provides 3 official graduate-level semester credits, taking just two courses completely satisfies your entire renewal requirement.
Can I use these courses for Professional Growth Plan (PGP) points instead?
Yes. If you prefer to renew using a PGP, the IDOE converts 1 semester credit hour into 15 PGP points.
A single 3-credit Upward course instantly grants you 45 PGP points—putting you exactly halfway to the 90 points required for your 5-year cycle.
How do I submit my completed coursework to the IDOE/LVIS portal?
It’s incredibly straightforward. Once you complete your course, you can order your official, regionally accredited transcript directly from our university partner, UMass Global.
When you log into the Indiana LVIS portal to process your renewal, you simply upload your digital university transcript. There is no need to track or upload separate vendor certificates.
Will these graduate-level credits count toward my district’s salary advancement?
Because our courses yield official graduate-level credits from a regionally accredited institution, they are structurally designed to meet the criteria for "Education" and "Academic Needs" salary lane changes (like BA+15 or MA+30).
Indiana public school districts possess local autonomy over their collective bargaining agreements, so you should always double-check your specific course selections with your district administrator or union representative before registering.
How long do I have to complete a course?
Our courses are 100% online and fully asynchronous, meaning you work entirely on your own schedule.
To comply with academic rigor guidelines, coursework must be completed no earlier than one month and no later than six months from your registration date.
