How to stay compliant in Minnesota

  • Confirm the current requirement on the Minnesota licensing board site. Rules and cycles change.
  • Prioritize HSW-designated courses; they satisfy the strictest part of most states’ requirements.
  • Keep completion certificates. Most boards can audit several years back.
  • If you hold multiple licenses, track each state separately: the ALA CEU Tracker keeps a separate record for each state and sends monthly status reminders.
