Chapter 852 - BOARD OF OPTOMETRY
Division 70 - CONTINUING OPTOMETRIC EDUCATION
Section 852-070-0035 - Responsibility to Notify Board

(1) Each active licensee must notify the Board of Optometry in writing of completion of the required hours of approved continuing education credits as part of the license renewal per OAR 852-050-0006.

(2) Notification for at least the total number of required hours must be submitted at one time.

(3) If sufficient proof of continuing education is not received by the Board by the license year renewal period deadline, the license will not be renewed until the continuing education deficiency is made up in a manner acceptable to and approved by the Board.

(4) Licensees must submit certificates of attendance or other proof of attendance acceptable to the Board when selected for audit or required to submit to renew a lapsed or late license.

(5) Any licensee who has completed the required continuing optometric education course work by the license year renewal period but fails to meet the submission deadline is subject to a late fee as listed in OAR 852-010-0080.

(6) The Board will not refund any fee unless there has been an error by the Board in the charging of the fee. Information not known by the Board because the licensee, applicant, or other person or entity has not supplied the correct information is not considered an error.
