Your pathway

Review your license type, registration, degree vintage, and the coursework and exams that go with them.

Pathway is where the facts that shape your requirements live. As the page puts it: your licensure pathway is determined by your registration and degree completion, and you edit those facts to change which rules apply.

Your current pathway

The top card names your pathway — for example, "California LMFT" — and, crucially, explains why you're on the rule set you're on: "these rules apply because your degree completion date falls within their window." The main dividing line is the AB 93 changes that took effect January 1, 2020. A rule history link shows how the rules have shifted over time.

This is worth reading once. It's the difference between trusting your numbers and wondering why they don't match a colleague's.

Your registrations

Your associate registration anchors when your hours start counting. This section shows each registration you've held, with its number, issue and expiration dates, and status (active, superseded, or lapsed).

When a registration is nearing its expiration, Licentio shows a plan your renewal soon banner with the days remaining. Renewing on time keeps your pathway continuous. See Change or correct your pathway.

90-day rule eligibility

If you earned supervision hours between your degree date and the day the BBS issued your associate number, two dates decide whether those hours count:

Application received date — when the BBS received your Application for Licensure. It starts the 90-day clock.
Employer Live Scan date — the date on your employer-required Live Scan form. Hours can only count under this rule from this date forward.

Enter them here and select Save dates. There's a link to the BBS 90-day rule document if you want the source.

Coursework and exams

The same coursework and exams from your dashboard appear here — Suicide Risk Assessment, Telehealth, and the California Law and Ethics Exam — each with its legal reference, so your pathway view is complete in one place.

Gotchas

Your degree completion date sets your entire rule set. If it's wrong, every requirement can be off. If your numbers ever look surprising, check that this date matches your transcript before assuming anything else is broken.

Renewal isn't automatic. The banner is a prompt, not an action. Get your renewal or Subsequent Registration paperwork moving with the BBS well before your expiration date, then record it here.
Missing 90-day dates quietly cost you hours. If any of your hours predate your associate number and these dates aren't on file, those hours may not count. Add them.

FAQ

Why am I on "AB 93" rules? Because your degree completion date falls on or after January 1, 2020. Associates who finished earlier are measured against the prior rules. The page tells you which window your date falls in.

My registration is about to expire. What do I do? File your renewal or Subsequent Registration with the BBS, then record the new registration in Licentio. See Change or correct your pathway.

I entered my degree date wrong. Can I fix it? Yes. Because it drives your rules, correcting it recomputes your requirements. See Change or correct your pathway.
