IMPORTANT
INFORMATION regarding Certificate
renewal
The Michigan
Department of Education has created a new system for educators to renew
their certification. The new Michigan Online Educator Certification
System (MOECS*) is a fully secure, role/function based web
application.
Educators and teacher
candidates will use MOECS to apply for certificates, renewals, duplicate
certificates and pay certification fees using a credit card.
Classes taken for college credits are not transferred into the Secure
Central Registry as SB-CEUs. MOECS has a separate location on your
account to record the college credits you have earned. After you have
entered MOECS and updated your profile, there will be a menu button on
the left side of your screen to "View/Update College Credit".
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
As of November
2011, educators who have earned SB-CEUs prior to the Secure Central
Registry (January 1, 2010) MUST enter "old" SB-CEUs into MOECS* to renew
their certificate.

What are
SB-CEUs?
SB-CEUs are State Board-Continuing Education Units. For
teachers, administrators, school counselors and school psychologists in
the state of Michigan, they can be an inexpensive alternative for
participants to maintain their certification.
In Michigan, teachers who hold Professional
or Occupational certificates, school psychologists, school counselors
and school administrators need to earn six semester hours of college credit
through an approved teacher preparation institute or 18 SB-CEUs or a
combination of both in a five year period. Three SB-CEUs equal one
semester hour of college credit.

All SB-CEU earned after January
1, 2010 will be awarded to educators and administrators via a Secure
Central Registry (SCR). Once uploaded to the SCR,
participants will receive an email directing them to the web address to
complete a personal account and evaluation.
The requirements for your personal account
will be a valid email address and a Personal Identification Code (PIC). The PIC is distributed by the Registry of Educational Personnel (REP). Contact your administrator or Human Resources Department in your home
district for your PIC number.
After completion of the personal account,
participants follow the instructions to complete a required evaluation
of the offering. After the evaluation is completed, SB-CEUs will be
awarded and listed on an unofficial transcript.
Participants have
30 days after the program is uploaded to complete the personal
account and evaluation. If not completed within 30 days, the
program will close and you will forfeit the SB-CEUs for that program.

IMPORTANT!
For participants to earn SB-CEUs, they must attend the entire
program as required by the Michigan Department of Education (MDE). This
means attending all sessions according to the approved schedule
including arriving on time and remaining for the duration of each
session. The MDE and the Macomb ISD review all programs and monitor
attendance. Program planners determine the method for documenting
attendance. It is the responsibility of each participant that their
attendance has been documented. Failure to comply with program
requirements, including attendance, will result in disallowance of
SB-CEU credit.
Certificate
Renewal / MOECS
The Michigan
Department of Education has created a new system for educators to renew
their certification. The new Michigan Online Educator Certification
System (MOECS) is a fully secure, role/function based web
application.
As of November
2011, educators who have earned SB-CEUs prior to the Secure Central
Registry (January 1, 2010) MUST enter "old" SB-CEUs into MOECS to renew
their certificate.
Classes taken for college credits are not transferred into the Secure
Central Registry as SB-CEUs. MOECS has a separate location on your
account to record the college credits you have earned. After you
have entered MOECS and updated your profile, there will be a menu button
on the left side of your screen to "View/Update College Credit".
The Office of Professional Preparation Services (OPPS) will no longer
print or mail educator certificates. Educators will print out
their own certificates from their MOECS account. The
certificate will continue to require notarization.
MOECS users locked out of the system after three failed attempts will
have a 30 minute waiting period before MOECS will automatically unlock
the account.
Educators and teacher candidates will use MOECS to apply for
certificates, renewals, duplicate certificates and pay certification
fees using a credit card.
