The remaining 6 hours may be any combination of core and elective topics. CE credits do not roll over and the same course cannot be repeated within a term. Current term July 1, 2025–June 30, 2027 with CE due April 30, 2027. Referral agents are exempt; licensees first licensed in the second year of a term are exempt until the next cycle.
