Colorado Clinical Social Worker CE audits & penalties
What happens if a licensed clinical social worker misses CE requirements in Colorado, and how the board checks compliance — sourced from the official board.
Licensees have a 60-day grace period after expiration to renew (with a delinquency fee) without a disciplinary sanction for practicing on an expired license. A license not renewed within the grace period is expired and the licensee may not practice until reinstated. Reinstatement after 2 or more years expired requires a jurisprudence exam plus an ASWB exam, documented work experience, 10 additional PDH per lapsed year, or other board-approved means.Verify with board
How compliance is checked
The board audits CPC documentation after renewal periods; retain documentation for 5 years from the expiration date of the licensing cycle.
