Sources read on November 12, 2026: the Delaware Division of Professional Regulation pages for its speech pathology and audiology board: Continuing Education and Audit Information and License Renewal. Those pages point to Section 8.0 of the board’s rules for complete requirements; the rules themselves were not read for this page.
Cycle
The renewal page states that speech/language pathologist licenses “expire on July 31 of odd years” and that an active license “must be renewed in DELPROS every two years before the expiration date.” During renewal, licensees attest that they completed the required continuing education (paraphrased).
Hours
The continuing education page states that active speech language pathologists “must complete 30 hours of approved CE during each full licensure renewal period between August 1 and July 31 of the previous odd-numbered years”. Dual licensees “must obtain a minimum of 30 CEs during each full renewal period, with 15 CEs obtained in each specialty area.”
First renewal
For a first renewal, the page lists 15 hours for a license issued on or after August 1 of an odd year but before August 1 of an even year, and 0 hours for a license issued on or after August 1 of an even year but before April 1 of an odd year (paraphrased from its table).
Tracking and audits
The page states: “Continuing Education (CE) is tracked in DELPROS, the Delaware Professional Regulation Online Service.” It also states: “Random audits are performed by the Board to ensure compliance with the license requirements.”
Reactivation
The renewal page says that to reactivate an inactive license, a licensee submits a service request “along with proof of completing the required CE within the preceding 24 months”.
What this page does not do
It covers the speech-language pathologist license only, and only what the official page or pages named above say. It does not list fees, does not cover school credentials issued by a state education agency, and does not replace the board’s own instructions. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
