A Note About Relicensure

While ATLAS and other supplemental service providers do their best to offer sessions aligned with relicensure areas, final approval of CEUs is granted by local relicensure committees operating in K–12 school districts. Because of this, we cannot guarantee that a particular activity will count toward a specific relicensure category in your district.

For more information about license renewal requirements, see the following resources from the Professional Educator Licensing & Standards Board (PELSB):

Important note: CEUs are only available to adult educators working within Minnesota.
