The school psychology pupil services license issued by the State Board of Education transferred to the State Board of Psychology on Jan. 1, 2025. Here are answers to some common questions and concerns.
SBP has included OSPA in all its discussions with the groups impacted by this including the Inter-University Council (training programs), DEW Office for Exceptional Children and the State Board of Education Office of Licensure.
We've been sharing out these details via email to our members since 2023. If you aren't a member, now more than ever, is the time to JOIN.

The State Board of Psychology created a set of rules that will govern our license. As a result the following will occur or has already occurred:
- All licenses and permanent certificates became SBP licenses Jan. 1, 2025, with no action or payment on your end.
- If your current pupil services license was expired on Dec. 31, 2024, it did not move and you must obtain a new license from SBP.
- You must first renew your SBP license by Sept. 30, 2025. The eLicense portal opened April 18 to allow for early license renewal.
- Under the draft rules, no one was required to show proof of continuing education credits (CEs) for the Sept. 30, 2025 renewal. You will first be required to show proof of hours in 2030.
