PDH Requirements FAQs

Lookup Your Carryover Hours Prior to Renewal

To check what hours the Board has recorded for you as carryover, log into Online Renewal Services. Your previous renewal confirmation will show. Click the green "View Renewal Report" button.

When you view the report, you'll see "Carryover to 2026-2028 Renewal = " followed by a number between 0 and 12. In the example below, it says "Carryover to 2026-2028 Renewal = 12". Whatever number your statement lists, that represents your carryover PDH.

REMINDER: ethics PDH is never carried over.

If you were first licensed in Minnesota on or after July 1, 2024, you will not be able to log into Online Renewals. (As this is your first renewal, you will not have had a CE obligation, nor would you have any carryover CE.)
