The North Carolina Continuing License is valid for a five-year period and must be renewed on June 30 of its year of expiration. Renewal of the continuing license requires at least 8.0 continuing education units (CEUs) or 80 hours, all of which must be earned during the current five-year renewal cycle. Pre-K-12 subject areas, instructional support, and student service areas must follow the renewal requirements listed for the grade span and school level served at the time of renewal.
