Utah Schools Information Management System (USIMS) and Comprehensive Administration of Credentials for Teachers in Utah Schools (CACTUS) will be down from June 30 to July 11, 2022 for yearly maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Educator Licensing provides information pertaining to all aspects of educator licensing in Utah. We changed the licensing structure in Utah on July 1, 2020; the new structure is outlined in the Educator Licensing Overview.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Utah State Board of Education Educator Licensing Team.
If you are searching for an educator's licensing information in Utah, please refer to the Utah State Board of Education Educator Look-up Tool and type in the first and last name of the educator. School information is not required.
