(Revised
5-08 with new course
numbers)
CSU has changed the
numbers for all of the
courses at the
University. The new
numbers for the driver
education courses are
listed below in bold.
The old course numbers
are in the parenthesis.
You will also notice
the new undergraduate
level courses are at
the 4000 level and the
new graduate courses
are at the 5000 level.
No longer will a G
designate graduate
level courses. You
cannot take these
courses to get credit
again with the new
numbers. The university
will not award credit
for any course a second
time.

The three courses
listed above are
offered by Chicago
State University and
have been approved by
the Illinois State
Board of Education to
fulfill the course work
needed to teach driver
education in the
schools of Illinois.
You will need to have
the endorsement placed
on your valid teaching
certificate by
submitting your
transcript to the state
in order to show proof
to an employer that you
have fulfilled
endorsement
requirements. To have
this endorsement added,
you will need to have
all of your transcripts
reviewed by the state
to be sure you have met
all requirements. This
review cannot be done
by anyone other than
the Illinois State
Board Education.
Universities have not
been given the
authority to perform
evaluations.
We strongly recommend
you have your
transcripts reviewed
ASAP. This will
eliminate any problems
with courses you are
missing or have already
taken and do not want
to repeat.
STATE OF ILLINOIS
REQUIREMENTS: Also

http://www.ISBE.net

Please call the
Graduate Studies Office
at 773.995.2404 to

procedures. It is wise
to

on time. These courses
tend to fill quickly.

RAP/PIN
number from the
Graduate Studies Office

Department, Chair, and
faculty cannot
give
that number to you. The
Graduate Studies Office
is the only place to
call for information
about
registration. If the
class is at an off
campus/extension site,
you may contact
Extension Services to
help
with
registration after you
have enrolled as a
grad-at-large.
If you are an
undergraduate student,
please call the
Admissions Office at
773.995.2513 to ask
about procedures
regarding processing as
an undergraduate
student-at-large.
