Chiropractic Online Education Guidelines

Arkansas caps distance-based learning at 12 hours per licensing period — half your requirement. The strategy: spend those 12 hours on the clinical topics you actually want, on your schedule, and reserve your in-person days for events worth traveling to.

A 12-hour online cart from 30+ clinical categories at $20 per credit hour clears the 10-hour bar for the automatic 20% bundle discount at checkout — no promo code. Every Arkansas catalog course displays its Board approval status, so there's no guesswork about what counts.

The 12 hours beyond your online allowance are earned in person — at approved chiropractic colleges, Board-approved seminars, and state or national association programs (CCE-affiliated college and association events are generally approved when content and faculty meet Board criteria). Many Arkansas doctors clear the in-person half at a single weekend convention, then finish the online half from home. Confirm any event's approval status on the Board's published CE rosters before attending.

Your first-renewal CE load depends on when you were licensed: January through June means the full 24 hours are due by December 31; July through December means 12 hours by December 31. Either way the deadline doesn't move — plan backward from December 31 and confirm your exact requirement with the Board if your licensure date sits near the boundary.

Arkansas is a mail-with-renewal state: it's the chiropractor's responsibility to obtain each certificate of attendance and mail it to the Board office with the license renewal. No sponsor submits for you.

The stakes are real: renewal must be postmarked by December 31, and applications more than 60 days late fall under new-applicant requirements — practicing on a forfeited license is illegal. The safe play: complete your final hours at least two weeks before year-end, with every CCEDseminars certificate downloading instantly on completion so your renewal envelope is ready early.

The Arkansas recipe splits cleanly in two: one in-person weekend (a convention or approved seminar covers the 12-hour in-person half in one trip) + 12 online hours banked before December — not during the holiday scramble.

Build the online half: 30+ clinical course categories at $20 per credit hour · a 12-hour custom bundle with the automatic 20% discount at 10+ hours · certification programs that turn annual hours into a lasting credential. Arkansas approval status shows on every course before you enroll.

How many CE hours do Arkansas chiropractors need?

24 hours of Board-approved continuing education every year, earned during the 12 months preceding renewal and due by December 31.

Can I complete all of my Arkansas CE hours online?

No. Arkansas allows a maximum of 12 distance-based (online) hours per licensing period — the remaining hours must be earned in person at approved programs.

Are CCEDseminars courses approved in Arkansas?

Arkansas pre-approves courses individually rather than blanket-accepting PACE. CCEDseminars lists Arkansas approval status on every catalog course, so you can see what counts before enrolling.

When is my Arkansas license renewal deadline?

December 31 every year — renewal with proof of CE must be postmarked by that date. Applications more than 60 days late fall under new-applicant requirements.

I'm newly licensed — how many hours do I need?

Licensed January through June: the full 24 hours by December 31. Licensed July through December: 12 hours by December 31.

Does CCEDseminars report my hours to the Arkansas board?

Arkansas licensees mail their completion certificates to the Board office with their renewal. Your CCEDseminars certificates download instantly on completion, ready for your renewal envelope.

What do different states call these hours?

Chiropractors may search for CE, CEUs, continuing education, license renewal hours, or Board-approved courses — all terms refer to the same continuing education recognized for chiropractic license renewal.
