AUDIOLOGISTS -- Renewals packets that were mailed on April 15, 2008 included the wrong Memorandum which was addressed to Provisional and Restricted Audiologists.  The Memo that should have been included can be found by clicking here.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.  You may check the status of your license on our database by clicking here.

Online Renewals

All full Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists may renew online! There is an additional $3.00 charge to renew online; however, identification cards will be received within one week.

Mailed Renewals

Renewals that are mailed to the Board office are usually processed within six weeks. If you wish to confirm that we have received your renewal application, please send your renewal via certified mail.

Continuing Education

Licensees shall participate in continuing professional education activities of at least ten clock hours for each license period, July 1 through June 30. Audiologists who hold hearing aid dispensing are required to obtain at least three of the ten hours in hearing aid dispensing.

Audits

Five percent of our licensees will be audited each year. Audits are randomly selected and will be notified by certified mail. Licensees who are audited are required to show proof of their continuing education obtained from July 1 through June 30 for that fiscal year.

Retired Status

Retired Status is available to anyone who has not worked in the field of Speech-Language Pathology and/or Audiology for the fiscal year (July 1 through June 30).  Retired Status allows you to keep your license current, but retire your continuing education for that fiscal year.  The retired licensee may either submit the required five hours of continuing education each year he/she claims retired status or may submit all of the hours the year he/she returns to work in the profession.

Even if you have worked in the profession only one hour, you are not eligible to claim Retired Status. 

If you wish to claim retired status for the year, you must fill out a Renewal Application Form, submit the renewal fee, and complete the Retired Status Affidavit on the back of the Continuing Education Report Form.

In order to resume the practice of Speech-Language Pathology and/or Audiology, the licensee must submit proof of completion of five clock hours of continuing education in the area of licensure for each year that retired status was maintained (maximum of 25 hours).

Delinquent Renewals

Delinquent renewals will be accepted by the board through October 31, provided the delinquent renewal fee is paid in accordance with § 119.C and D, and the continuing education summary form is submitted.

A licensee whose license lapsed on November 1, and applies to reinstate prior to the following June 30, is required to submit a completed application, proof of continuing education, initial license fee and delinquent renewal fee in accordance with § 119.A and D and § 123.
