Source read on November 12, 2026: the board’s Continuing Education page, which quotes rule 21 NCAC 64 .0218.
Hours and cycle
The board states: “Each licensee will have a three-year cycle to complete the required 30 CEU hours.” It adds that licensees may elect to have their CEU cycle synced with their ASHA cycle, and that this change can be made only once (paraphrased).
The page quotes 21 NCAC 64 .0218 as requiring each licensee to “complete 30 hours of continuing professional education in their fields” sponsored by ASHA, the North Carolina state association, or a state education department the rule names, or other board-approved similar courses (paraphrased in part).
Attestation, audits, and records
The board states: “The Board will require signed statements from licensees affirming that they are in compliance with the CEU requirement.” And: “Licensees will be subject to random audit of their continuing education documentation.”
On records, the page says CE proof must be kept for five years (paraphrased). It says you do not have to submit CE unless you are audited, and that temporary licensees do not need CE during their supervised experience year (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.
