About This Approval
The term of a license or certificate is two years. Licenses and certificates expire at midnight on the last day of your birth month in odd or even years depending on your birth year.
All occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants renewing a license or certificate in active status must earn 24 CE hours per two year renewal period. Your renewal period begins the day after your license expires and ends on your expiration date. If you earn more than the required number of CE hours within your renewal period, a maximum of 6 hours may be carried over to the next renewal period.
You do not need to submit documentation of your CEs with your renewal form, however, you are required to maintain documentation for a period of 4 years following the renewal period. You must submit the evidence of completion if you are audited by the Board.
