Unlike LMFT applicants, LPCC applicants may not count any pre-degree hours toward licensure. An LPCC applicant may count post-degree hours prior to receiving his/her associate registration number as long as he/she applied for an associate registration within 90 days of graduation. If the associate application is not submitted within 90 days of graduation, none of the hours earned between graduation and receipt of the associate registration number may be claimed. There are no exceptions to this requirement.
