Cycle
The licensure period runs July 1 through June 30, with regular licenses expiring at midnight on June 30 of even-numbered years (paraphrased).
Clinical hours and carryover
At least half of the requirement, ten contact hours, must relate directly to clinical practice (paraphrased). “No carryover of continuing education hours from one licensure period to another shall be allowed.”
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.
