Entitlement Notifications in ELIS

October 14, 2015

We kindly request that licensure officers mark each candidate at the beginning of the program as “not completed” by using the entitlement wizard. By taking this action, the candidate’s ELIS account will be in “pre-completion” (PC) status and he/she will be unable to apply for a license through ISBE evaluation. The

beginning of the program generally means when the candidate has been admitted to the preparation program or has successfully passed a test of basic skills*.

This action will prevent duplicate applications and the transfer of fees.

It will also prevent delays in obtaining licensure. *Defined as the TAP, ACT Plus Writing, SAT or OOS test of basic skills used for licensure in another state
