Sources read on November 12, 2026: the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation board pages Continuing Education and Renewal, and Chapter 115 of the South Carolina Code of Regulations on the South Carolina Legislature site.
Hours and cycle
The continuing education page states: “In order to maintain your license as a Speech Language Pathologist or Audiologist in the State of South Carolina, you must complete 16 hours of Continuing Education each license period.”
The renewal page states: “The biennial reporting period for the 2027 renewal is April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2027.” It also says licensees report hours to CE Broker before renewing rather than sending documents to the board (paraphrased).
Content and limits
Regulation 115-6 states: “At least one-half of the continuing education requirement must pertain to clinical practice in the area of licensure.” It states: “Not more than two (2) hours of the continuing education requirement may be met by independent study. All independent study must receive prior approval by the board sixty (60) days prior to implementation.” And: “Continuing education requirements may be met by online or electronic courses.”
Attestation, records, and audits
It states that “each licensee shall attest to completion of the required continuing education at the time of license renewal” and that “each licensee shall maintain records of continuing education hours earned for a period of four (4) years”.
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.
