Steps to getting a LM endorsement added to your MT teaching license

Once you have finished the courses necessary for a Library Media endorsement,

1. Order official transcripts from both the University of Montana-Missoula

and the University of Montana Western. If any course work was transferred into

the program from another university besides UMM and UMW, official transcripts

will be needed.  Send all transcripts to the lead school Licensure Specialist.

2. Follow this link http://opi.mt.gov/pdf/cert/UnivRecClass1_2.pdf to complete the form titled, “University Recommendation for a Montana Class 1 or 2 Educator License.”  Either fax or mail this form to Kristi or Mike.

3. Once Kristi or Mike receives your transcripts and the Recommendation form, they will complete the form and send everything off to OPI. OPI will add the LM endorsement to the applicant’s teaching license within a week or two.
