This calculator is a planning checklist before you sign in to ND Teach. It uses renewal figures from NDAC ch. 67.1-02-02 and ESPB's renewing a license page. Nothing you type is stored on our servers.
What this estimates (and does not submit)
The calculator answers four planning questions:
- Semester hours: flags shortfalls against the six-hour five-year rule.
- Contracted days: compares your total to the thirty-day expectation on a standard five-year path.
- Earliest filing date: modeled as six months before the expiry date you enter (ESPB renewing page).
- Fee line: $140 for five-year and $65 for two-year renewals from 67.1-02-02-04, plus $100 when today's date is after the expiry you entered (ESPB late-fee sentence).
It does not transmit data to ESPB, predict audit outcomes, or validate course subjects against your endorsements. Subject fit still follows 67.1-02-02-05(2)(a).
Inputs and validation
| Input | Meaning | Rule source |
|---|---|---|
| License type | Five-year, two-year, or probationary planning | Five-year and two-year fees in 67.1-02-02-04; probationary eight-hour path 67.1-02-02-04(2)(c) |
| License expiry date | End date of the license you are renewing | Drives six-month window and late-fee comparison |
| Semester hours earned this cycle | Total transcripted hours counted within license dates | Compared to 6 (five-year) or 8 (probationary) |
| Contracted days this cycle | Days you taught under contract in North Dakota | Compared to 30 on five-year path per ESPB types guidance |

Leave a field blank and the calculator will ask you to complete all four values. Invalid dates show a plain error message instead of partial math.
Two-year mode assumes you are on the path for teachers with under eighteen months of North Dakota contracted experience. It does not re-check hours automatically because NDAC focuses the two-year fee in 67.1-02-02-04(1)(a) without duplicating the six-hour sentence tied to five-year renewals.
Results checklist and fees
After you click Calculate requirements, the results list may include lines such as:
- Semester hours: counts remaining until six, or a confirmation that six appear met based on the number you typed.
- Contracted days: counts remaining until thirty, or a confirmation that thirty appear met.
- Earliest application date: formatted six months before your expiry (ESPB six-month guidance).
- Renewal fee: $140 (five-year) or $65 (two-year) while on time, with plus $100 late fee appended when your expiry date is already in the past.
Probationary mode compares your entered hours to eight semester hours per 67.1-02-02-04(2)(c).
The calculator does not know your endorsement mix or district contract language. It treats semester hours as a single total you type, so split courses from two universities still count if they post on transcripts within your license dates under 67.1-02-02-05(2). Contracted days use the thirty teaching days standard from 67.1-02-02-04(2)(a)(2) on the five-year path; part-time contracts may still satisfy the rule when ESPB can verify dates of service.
Five-year results compare your expiry date to today's date only for the late-fee line. They do not warn about probationary placement when you enter five point five hours instead of six. Two-year mode highlights the $65 fee line from 67.1-02-02-04(1)(a) but does not model eighteen-month contracted experience rules; NDTeach questions determine that path. Probationary mode is a planning aid after you already know ESPB moved you to eight hours under 67.1-02-02-04(2)(c).

Quick answers
Does this calculator submit NDTeach applications?
No. It is a planning checklist only. Submit through the official ND Teach portal linked from ESPB.
Where do the numbers come from?
Constants match NDAC 67.1-02-02-04, 67.1-02-02-05, and ESPB's renewing page as listed on this page.
Why does probationary mode require eight hours?
NDAC 67.1-02-02-04(2)(c) sets eight semester hours of re-education credit on a probationary license when six hours are not finished at five-year renewal.
