Oregon Administrative Rules
Chapter 877 - BOARD OF LICENSED SOCIAL WORKERS
Division 25 - CONTINUING EDUCATION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Section 877-025-0021 - Reporting Requirements

(1) Regulated social workers must report the completion of continuing education every two years in a manner prescribed by the board. The report must be made at the time the regulated social worker submits an application to renew a certificate or license and must be submitted before the end of the licensee's birthday renewal month. Continuing education after the end of the licensee's birthday renewal month may not be accepted to meet the requirements of the prior renewal period, but may be accepted to meet the CE requirements for the new renewal period.

(2) The report is part of the renewal application and must contain information sufficient to demonstrate that the regulated social worker has met the requirements in this division of rules. A regulated social worker who fails to meet the requirements is subject to a denial of the application for renewal or to sanction by the board unless the failure was due to circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the regulated social worker and the regulated social worker agrees to a plan to compensate for the deficiency.

(3) The Board conducts routine, random audits of compliance with continuing education requirements. A regulated social worker must retain completion certificates, program information, and other documents needed to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this division of rules for a minimum of 24 months after reporting completion of continuing education requirements to the board and must provide them to the Board upon request.
