User Guide for Renewing Registration Last Updated: April 2024 For questions, please use the contact information at the bottom of [www.isbe.net/nonpublicprograms](www.isbe.net/nonpublicprograms) Dashboard No information is entered on this page. It is for informational purposes only. This page gives a basic overview of the registration system and your school’s current status. Once you’re ready to proceed, click on “Click here to enter the system” or click “Registration” again at the top and then “Enter Report.” The “Copy”,“Excel”,“CSV”, and “PDF” buttons are only used by ISBE and can be ignored. The rest of the information on this screen is self-explanatory except for the"Application Status" column. Please see the next page for more information. When you are ready to begin the renewal process, please click your school's RCDT code in the first column. | Explanation of "Application Status" Messages | | | | --- | --- | --- | | Status | Explanation | Is Your Renewal Complete? | | Data Entry Not Started | No data has been entered | NO | | Draft | Some data has been entered | NO | | Disapproved by the ISBE Admin | Your application was disapproved by an ISBE Admin. In almost all cases, you will only see this status if you made an error and need to correct it. If we disapprove the application without your knowledge, we will notify you via e-mail. | NO | | School Doc Author has
submitted to the School Admin | You or a previous school administrator created a Document Author. Document Authors can enter data but cannot submit the application to ISBE. The school administrator must login and finalize the submission to ISBE. | NO | | Approved by ISBE Admin | Your application was successfully submitted! No further action is needed at this time | YES | | Entered by the ISBE Admin | If you have trouble submitting your application, an ISBE Admin can do it for you. If that happens, this is the status that will display. Your application is still considered successfully submitted. | YES | Section 1 – Welcome Page This page displays the date the system will close in red. Please be sure to submit your renewal before the deadline. Please note that if you wish to return to an earlier section of this application (for example, you are on Section 8 and wish to return to Section 1), you can click the blue circle for that section at the top of your screen to jump backwards. However, the system will not let you jump forward (for example, you wish to return to Section 8 from Section 1) . If you go back to a previous section, you will need to hit the Save & Continue button several times to return to where you left off. This is intentional as the system needs to check your answers in previous sections to populate information in later sections.
