ONLINE Renewal Process with IPLA
The Indiana Professional Licensing Agency implemented an online renewal system that some find a bit challenging. To help you navigate this system, Dr. Vince Drnevich put together a slide presentation that walks you through what to expect as you renew your license.

Continuing Education
- All Indiana PEs must earn 30 hours of continuing education every two years - one hour must be in Ethics and one must be in Statutes and Standards.
- Courses must be either provided by an organization referenced in IC 25-1-4-0.2 OR approved by the Board. To search for a list of Board approved providers, follow this link, then enter "Engineering Board" for Profession and "CE Provider - Engineering" for License Type. NSPE and ISPE are both approved providers in statute.
- Engineers may carryover up to 15 CEs from one renewal period to the next.
- Engineers who become licensed in the first year of a renewal period only need to earn 15 hours; those licensed for the first time in the second year do not need to earn any hours in that renewal period.
