D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 17, r. 17-1526
This section shall apply to all applicants for the renewal or reinstatement of a license to practice as a land surveyor or professional engineer, except those applicants seeking first renewal of a license granted by examination.
An applicant for renewal of a license to practice as a land surveyor shall attest to having completed no less than twelve (12) hours of acceptable continuing professional education during the term of the license, to include the following:
An applicant for renewal of a license to practice as a professional engineer shall attest to having completed no less than twenty (20) hours of acceptable continuing professional education, to include at least one (1) hour on the subject of professional ethics, during the term of the license.
An applicant for reinstatement of an expired license or renewal of an inactive license to practice as a land surveyor shall attest to having completed, no more than two (2) years prior to the date of application, at least six (6) hours of credit in approved continuing education programs for each year the license was expired or inactive, up to a maximum of twenty-four (24) hours, and shall include the following:
An applicant for reinstatement of an expired license or renewal of an inactive license to practice as a professional engineer shall attest to having completed ten (10) hours of credit in approved continuing education programs for each year the license was expired or inactive, up to a maximum of forty (40) hours, and shall include no less than one (1) hour on the subject of professional ethics. To be creditable, courses shall not have been completed more than two (2) years prior to the date of application.
An applicant under this section shall report the completion of required continuing education credits by submitting with the renewal or reinstatement application the following information with respect to each program:
A continuing education credit shall be valid only if it is part of a program approved by the Board in accordance with § 1527 of this chapter. Licensees are responsible for ensuring that continuing education courses taken to satisfy the Board's renewal or reinstatement requirements are approved by the Board.
An applicant for the renewal of a license who fails to complete the continuing education requirements by or before the expiration date may renew the license within sixty (60) days after expiration by completing the outstanding hours and by paying the required late fee. Any hours obtained after licensure expiration and claimed for late renewal shall not be creditable for the next renewal period. Upon renewal, the Board shall deem the applicant to have possessed a valid license during the period between the expiration of the license and its renewal.
If an applicant for the renewal of a license fails to complete the continuing education requirements within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicant's license, the license shall be deemed to have lapsed on the date of expiration, and the applicant shall be required to apply for reinstatement of the expired license pursuant to § 3308 of this title.
The Board may grant an extension of the sixty (60) day period to renew after expiration if the applicant's failure to complete continuing education requirements was for good cause. For purposes of this subsection, "good cause" includes proof of the following:
An extension granted under this section shall not relieve an applicant from complying with the continuing education requirement for the next renewal period.
