How to Request Continuing Education(CE) Course Approval

If you know or have any doubt that a CE course that you have taken or want to take is not approved by the Board, you should request to have the course reviewed and approved by the Board. You must use the DELPROS online portal to request approval of the CE course(s) through a Service Request. For more information on how to submit courses for approval or many other types of service requests for this profession, see the Pharmacy Service Requests webpage.

It is important to have all of your course documentation available as you must upload the information in the Service Request application.

  • Click on the titles below in each section to expand the information.

The amount of continuing education (CE) that you are required to complete depends on when your license was issued during the full licensure period. If it is your first renewal, you are required to complete:

  • 1.25 hours for each month between the initial date of licensure and the biennial renewal date

Active Pharmacist licensees must complete 30 hours of approved CE during each full licensure renewal period between October 1 to September 30 even-numbered years (2020-2022, etc.) and must include the following:

  • At least 2 hours of CE in the area of medication safety/errors and
  • At least 2 hours of CE in the area of administering injectable medications, biological and adult immunizations if trained and are an authorized “Immunizing Pharmacist” and
  • At least 2 hours of CE in:
    • the distribution, dispensing or delivery of controlled substances; or
    • the detection and recognition of symptoms, patterns of behavior, or other characteristics of impairment and dependency resulting from the abusive or illegal use of controlled substances.

For complete information on the CE requirements, see Section 1.4 and sections 14.1.3.1 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations.

Random audits are performed by the Board to ensure compliance with the license requirements. Licensees that are selected for the random audit must verify that they have maintained the required continuing education and any other information required by the Board to confirm their continued eligibility for the license. For complete information, see Section 1.6 and 14.1 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations.

Do not upload any CE documentation into DELPROS unless notified that you have been selected for audit.

If you are selected for audit, you must upload a copy of:

  • the CPE Monitor Log from NABP for ACPE-approved courses
  • the certificate of attendance, course agenda, brochures, outlines or syllabi foreach CE course that you entered in the CE Tracker in DELPROS for non-ACPE approved courses.
