Utah State Requirements

Below is a summary of how Learners Edge may help your continuing education and Utah educator license renewal needs. This summary should in no way release individuals from their responsibility of ensuring that the course they take meets their professional needs. We hope it provides assistance in understanding how Learners Edge might help you in the accumulation of clock hours or graduate credit for salary advancement and the Utah teaching relicensure process.

See the Utah State Board of Education website for complete UT teacher relicensure information.
