Renewing a Current School
Schools that have obtained EAP approval must renew their approval with the EAP on a yearly basis, or risk losing their ability to operate in Wisconsin or accept Wisconsin students.

School Renewal
The annual renewal process requires information to be submitted electronically. The online renewal will be available beginning in July and can be accessed through the link above. Schools have until September 1st to submit a renewal of approval application.
NOTE: DO NOT START THE RENEWAL EARLY -- INFORMATION ENTERED PRIOR TO THE RENEWAL LAUNCH CANNOT BE SAVED!
Although the annual school renewal process is completed entirely online, a Renewal Template has been developed to provide schools with an idea of the renewal information that will be required. During the renewal process, schools will have the ability generate a pre-renewal working copy of the renewal application -- specific to their school -- to assist with completing the online renewal.
