The fine print most trackers miss
South Carolina-specific rules
These are the rules that catch LCSW associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.
- Applicants must submit the LISW application and have a supervision contract approved by the Board before supervision begins
- LMSWs completing LISW-CP supervision in South Carolina may practice only in recognized social, medical, or governmental agencies and not in private independent practice
- The supervisor is expected to maintain supervision notes and submit a final report of supervised experience to the Board
