Subsequent Registration Numbers
- Registrations issued by the Board are valid for a 6-year period (five renewals)
- Registrants who have not completed all hours of supervised experience within the 6-year life span must apply for a subsequent registration number to continue the path toward licensure
- Many registrants apply for a second (or third, etc.) registration number to gain additional supervised work experience or for employment purposes
- Registrants with a subsequent registration number cannot work in a private practice or a professional corporation setting. There are no exceptions.
- Applicants must PASS the LPCC California Law and Ethics Exam before a subsequent registration can be issued.
Schools with LPCC Programs
Since schools occasionally change program curriculum and course descriptions, the list below may not reflect these changes. Please contact the school directly to ensure that the degree program meets the educational requirements for licensure. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the applicant to comply with all requirements for licensure.
The Board does not publish a list of schools with LPCC programs, which are based outside of California, online or otherwise.
