Arkansas dietitian license renewal and continuing education
Arkansas rule 17 CAR § 90-109 requires licensees to renew annually and to submit “Documentation showing completion of at least twelve (12) clock hours per renewal period of continuing education.”
Quoted from official pages checked November 12, 2026. Confirm current requirements, fees, and dates on those sites. This page is not legal advice and does not guarantee eligibility, certification, or licensure.
Sources read on November 12, 2026: 17 CAR Part 90, Arkansas Dietetics Licensing Board Rules, ADLB CEU guidelines.
Cycle
“All licenses issued as of January 1, 2021, will have a renewal date of December 1 of each year.” Licenses issued after that date renew one year from issuance (paraphrased).
What counts
Hours must comply with continuing professional education activities approved by CDR, or be volunteer services under the Volunteer Health Care Act (paraphrased). The board’s guidelines state: “All renewal applicants must provide proof of completion of 12 continuing education credits obtained within the previous 12 months.”
Required topics
None named. The official source this page quotes sets the CE hours but does not name a required topic (read November 12, 2026). Other state laws can still apply, so confirm with the board before you renew.

What this page does not do
It covers the state dietetics license only, and only what the official page named above says. It does not list fees and does not replace the board’s own instructions. CDR registration is separate; see the RD and DTR overview. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
