What is the difference between the Five-Year Substitute License and the Three-Year Short-Term Substitute Permit?
• The Five-Year Substitute License may be issued to an applicant who has completed a state-approved educator preparation program through a regionally accredited four-year bachelor degree granting institution. See the Five-Year Substitute License Requirements page for more information. • The Three-Year Short-Term Substitute Permit may be issued to a person who holds a bachelors degree from a regionally accredited four-year bachelor degree granting institution, but has not completed a state-approved educator preparation program. See the Three-Year Short-Term Substitute Permit Requirements page for more information. How long can an individual with a three-year short-term substitute permit be in a specific assignment? The three-year short-term substitute permit allows the holder to accept short-term substitute assignments in any subject at any grade level (no more than 20 days total in a specific assignment).
