 The State Board of Psychology opted to open the eLicense portal for LSP licensees very early in 2025. This was designed to alleviate a couple concerns we heard:

  • If you renew in spring/early summer, you will be able to show your district you have a "pending" renewal for purposes of contract renewals. If your district balks at renewing your contract because your license will expire after Sept. 30, renew early to assure them it will remain active for all of next school year. 
  • If you are graduating from your training program in spring 2025, you will be able to obtain your license ahead of the start of the school year to ensure you can be hired and also avoid having to renew you license in September. Your license effective date will be upon approval of the board and continue through 2030.
