Internship Application Deadline If your district has a teacher completing an internship with a MT EPP, the application process needs to be completed by November 15th.  The EPP is responsible for starting the application and working with the teacher on the process. The teacher should then notify the district to electronically sign the application.

December 1st Deadline Teachers hired at a Montana school district must have an active license on December 1st to be eligible for the Quality Educator Payment. The licensure team is on schedule with application evaluations, but they can only evaluate completed and submitted applications. Did you know applicants can check their own application status and see if they have overlooked any portion of their application? Click here for the Application User Guide

A Reminder...

It is easier to renew than reinstate! Questions contact cert@mt.gov.
