The fine print most trackers miss
South Dakota-specific rules
These are the rules that catch LPCC associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.
- Applicant must already hold a South Dakota LPC license before an LPC-MH plan of supervision can be approved
- No supervision or direct client contact hours count before the Board approves the Plan of Supervision
- Up to 1,000 direct client contact hours and up to 50 supervision hours may carry forward from a qualifying South Dakota LPC post-graduate supervision plan
