Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the North Carolina Board for Licensing of Geologists' office will be closed to the public until further notice. Board staff are working remotely and we have technology in place allowing the day-to-day operations of the Board to continue without interruption.

**CONTINUING EDUCATION UPDATE**

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the NC Board for Licensing of Geologists voted to waive the continuing education requirement for this year’s license renewal. The license renewal fees for both individual and corporate licenses must be received by June 30. Any CE earned during the 2019-2020 license period (July 1, 2019-June 30, 2020), along with any carry over CE from the previous period (July 1, 2018-June 30, 2019), must be reported with your license renewal. Up to 24 PDH can be carried over to the 2020-2021 license period (July 1, 2020-June 30, 2021). CE that is not reported will be forfeited.
