Cycle
Licenses expire biennially in odd-numbered years, and the continuing education reporting period is a 24-month period that follows the calendar year (paraphrased).
Credit
An hour of continuing education “means a minimum of fifty (50) minutes and up to a maximum of sixty (60) minutes spent in actual attendance at and/or completion of an approved continuing education activity”.
Carryover
“Continuing education hours cannot be carried over into the next reporting period.”
Records and audits
Licensees attest to completion on the renewal form (paraphrased). “Each licensee shall retain records documenting his/ her attendance at and completion of the required hours of continuing education for a minimum of three (3) years after the reporting period in which the continuing education was completed.” “The board may conduct an audit of licensees to verify compliance with the continuing education requirement.”
Provisional licensees
“Provisional licensees are exempt from obtaining continuing education until such time as a permanent license is issued.”
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.
