You must complete any required jurisprudence learning modules by January 31 in order to renew your registration by March 31.

Additional learning modules are currently being developed.  The College will advise dietitians when additional modules must be completed.

Each module will take approximately 1½ to 2 hours to complete.  There are links to external information and additional information that may increase the time required.

If you have a learning goal related to the topic of the module, the module(s) could be included in your learning plans.  Keep in mind that the College recommends a minimum of three activities for each learning plan.  For clarity, a module CANNOT be the only activity in a learning plan.
