All N.D.
occupational therapy licenses expire June 30, 2008.
A completed 2008 Renewal of
Licensure form, renewal fee, and continued competency verification
must be submitted to the Board office, postmarked on or before June
1, 2008. For renewals postmarked after June 1, 2008, a $100 late
fee will be assessed in addition to the renewal fee.
CONTINUED
COMPETENCY TIMELINE: Continued competency is valid if it was
earned within 24 months prior to the date your 2008 renewal
application is received by the Board office. For example, if your
renewal is received in the office on May 23, 2008 and your continued
competency is from April 21, 2006 and May 29, 2006. The May 29th
course would count because it is within 24 months prior to May 23,
2008. The April 21st course would not count since it is not within
24 months of that date.
Also, you cannot
submit a course more than once. Any courses used for the last
renewal, cannot be used for this renewal. Hours do not carry over
from one renewal period to another. The late fee still goes into
effect if everything (renewal form, fee, and 20 hours of CE) is not
postmarked on or before June 1st.
ATTENTION ALL
NEW GRADS!: According to the Board continued competency
criteria, those who have graduated with a degree in occupational
therapy during the licensing period (July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2008)
may use their academic coursework as continued competency for
renewal. Submit a copy of your transcript with the renewal
application.
If you were
initially licensed from 7-01-2007 to 12-31-2007, you will only need
10 contact hours. If you were licensed before 7-01-2007, you need to
submit 20 hours of continued competency verification. Verification
may include a certificate of completion or a statement of your
attendance signed by your supervisor.
The 2008 renewal
period is for two years ending June 30, 2010.
