Admin certificate renewal before certificate expiration or less than five (5) years expired requires six (6) educational leadership (EDL) graduate credit hours.

UNO Educational Leadership offers several 1-hour, asynchronous online courses each semester which can be used for admin certificate renewal.

1-hour elective courses are designed to be:

  • topical for current issues,
  • asynchronous to meet your scheduling needs,
  • unique choices to enrich a degree Plan of Study, and
  • beneficial for those needing to renew their admin certificate.

Other Educational Leadership (EDL) courses might be able to be used for renewal. Please check with Department Chair Dr. Tami Williams before enrolling in graduate classes used for renewal outside of the 1-hour electives listed above:

How to Renew the Certificate

  1. Determine the courses you’d like to take for your renewal.
    • Select the 1-hour, elective courses you will take for your renewal.
    • If you want to take courses outside of the 1-hour electives listed above, connect with Dr. Williams to confirm the course(s) you’d like to take is available for renewal. You may schedule a 1:1 zoom conversation with Dr. Williams using Book time with Dr. Tami Williams or calling 402.554.2721. (Be sure your appointment is in Central Time - check the World Clock on the Bookings Page.)
  2. Apply to UNO to be a Graduate Student as a Non-Degree.

    • Apply for Admission to UNO | Admissions | University of Nebraska Omaha (unomaha.edu)
    • Select Graduate Student. Follow the directions to create an account.
    • Apply as Non-Degree (scroll to N's for Non Degree, not E's for Ed Leadership).
    • The cost for Non-Degree applications is $25.
    • Questions about the NonDegree application process? Please contact UNO Graduate Studies at gradschool@unomaha.edu or call 402.554.2341.
  3. Please email edleadership@unomaha.edu to notify us that you’ve applied as a Non-Degree student and are planning to classes for admin renewal.

Once you are accepted to UNO as a Graduate Student:

  1. Claim you UNO Identity
    • You will receive your NU ID (#s) and NU Tech ID (usually a combo of first and last name).
    • Use this information and set up your Duo Two Factor. UNO | Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) - Duo Identity and Access Management | ITS Services (unomaha.edu)
    • If you have any issues please call our UNO Technology Helpdesk at 402.554.4357.
  2. Register & Pay for Your Courses
    • MavLINK to enroll in the course(s) for the semester(s) you choose.
    • MavLINK log in is found at my.unomaha.edu.
    • If you need a permit for a specific course during the checkout process, please email edleadership@unomaha.edu
  3. Access Your Courses
    • UNO uses Canvas for course delivery. Each course you're enrolled in has its own Canvas tile.
    • Canvas log in is found at my.unomaha.edu
    • You will also be enrolled in the EDL Canvas Group. This organization group in Canvas is how the EDL Department Office communicates with current EDL Students.
    • Pace yourself. These are asynchronous courses which means you don't meet on a date or time. Instead, you complete the coursework independently. Some 1-hour electives have specific due dates and others do not. Preview the entire course and plan your work accordingly.

  1. Official grades for courses are posted at the end of the semester through MavLink.
