Licensure is becoming more complex every day and we are here to help you! The Licensure Officer at KU, Alisa Branham, is the central information source for all licensure questions. Please read the following information and appropriate links, then feel free to contact her by email at abranham@ku.edu if you need further assistance. The Licensure Officer works closely with current students, KU alumni, and the general public, responding to 80-100 inquiries each day.
KU alumni who need to have "verification" or "recommendation" forms completed for licensure in other states should mail these forms directly to: Licensure, KU School of Education, 1122 West Campus Rd., 211 JRP, Lawrence, KS 66045. Please allow two weeks for processing, three weeks during peak periods. It’s very helpful if you’ll attach a note listing your KUID number, email address, any prior names, and when you completed your program at KU so we can find your records.
Faxes or electronic files are not accepted.
If you are applying for initial licensure or adding an endorsement, we will need your licensure exam score. Starting around November 2008, we have a new system at KU to receive scores electronically. If we do not get the score electronically from ETS, you will be asked to mail us the score (see more details under Licensure Exams).
At this time, KU does not offer any programs for alternative licensure/restricted license. You can find more information on alternative licensure programs by contacting the schools listed at the KSDE web site: http://www.ksde.org/Default.aspx?tabid=320#altcontacts.
