IMPORTANT CHANGE REGARDING CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR LICENSURE RENEWAL Effective June 1, 2008, CEUs must be earned on a calendar-year basis. For the current license renewal period 6/1/08 through 5/31/10, licensees with a single license in audiology or speech-language pathology must earn 15 CEUs (10 in area licensure and 5 related) by 12/31/09. Licensees with dual licensure in audiology and speech-language pathology must earn 25 CEUs (10 in each area of licensure and 5 related) by 12/31/09. The Board has reduced the number of CEUs for this period only in order to accommodate the shortened CEU earning cycle. For the subsequent licensure period, 6/1/10 through 5/31/12, licensees with a single license must earn 20 CEUs (10 in area of licensure and 10 related) from 1/1/10 through 12/31/11. Licensees with dual licenses must earn 30 CEUs (10 in each area of licensure and 10 related) from 1/1/10 through 12/31/11. In the future, subsequent licensure periods and CEU earning cycles shall follow in this same manner. It is important to note that the Board of Examiners has not changed the licensure renewal period. Licenses will continue to expire on 5/31 every 2 years with a spring renewal as is currently done. The only change is that the CEUs must be completed by 12/31 of the year before the license expires.
