Cycle
NAC 637B.036 states: “Each standard and provisional license issued by the Board, including, without limitation, each standard license that has been converted to inactive status, expires 1 year after the date on which the license was issued.”
Hours
NAC 637B.400(1) states that, as a prerequisite for each renewal, a licensee must complete, “during the annual period immediately preceding the renewal, at least 10 hours of continuing education approved by the Board that directly pertains to the profession in which he or she holds a license issued by the Board, including at least 1 hour of continuing education relating to ethics, cultural competence, cultural humility, culturally responsive practices or diversity, equity and inclusion.”
Records, audits, and carryover
Records of completion “must be retained by the licensee and made available to the Board for inspection for not less than 3 years after the completion of the course.” It states: “The Board will conduct random audits of licensees to ensure compliance with the requirements of this section.” Excess hours do not carry forward: the licensee “is not allowed to credit the excess hours toward the required education for a subsequent period.”
Approved providers and first renewal
Courses approved by groups including the “American Speech-Language-Hearing Association” are “deemed to be approved by the Board.” Under NAC 637B.403, a person who gets a license “within 12 months after graduating from an educational program accredited by an agency approved by the Board is not required to complete any continuing education before renewing his or her license for the first time.”
Activities and waivers
NAC 637B.420 lists accepted activities, including “Completion of an Internet course.” Presentation credit is capped at “8 hours during any one licensing period.” Under NAC 637B.430, the board may waive all or part of the requirement for an extenuating circumstance; if a waiver is granted, the unmet hours are added to the following year’s requirement (paraphrased).
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.
