To apply for a first time Minnesota license the application process is now completed online through the Minnesota Department of Education. Directions on the process and the link to the Minnesota Department of Education can be found at:
http://www.d.umn.edu/educ/student_resources/mn_license/index.html
It is important that you read all the instructions on this process, as documents must be sent to the Student Affairs office for endorsement. Please contact Pat Sundin at (218) 726-7074 or psundin@d.umn.edu if you have any questions.
If you currently hold a Minnesota license and are now adding an additional endorsement, you cannot apply for this license online. Please contact Pat Sundin for the application. If you are completing courses for an endorsement concurrently with the initial licensure program, you must advise Pat Sundin so that UMD recommends the endorsement along with the initial license field. If this does not happen, you will have to apply separately for the endorsement and pay application fees again.
NOTE: Board of Teaching has approved a resolution allowing a limited one-year K-6 license (until June 2008) to graduates who do not pass the 5-8 specialty subject test.
When the Minnesota Board of Teaching receives the application, your file will be posted and available for tracking on the web,

Student Affairs will also process license applications for other states. Contact the appropriate state licensing agency for forms and instructions
Students interested in teaching in the state of Wisconsin should be aware of additional requirements for licensure in that state.
