Which statement accurately reflects handling of CEUs beyond 20 for the next biennial period?

• A. They are eligible for credit in the next cycle.
• B. They are charged to the license renewal fee.
• C. They are not credited in the next biennial period.
• D. They are counted toward the license exam requirement.

Answer: (C)

CEUs do not carry over to the next biennial period. In New Jersey, the renewal cycle sets a fixed CEU requirement (typically 20) for that two-year period, and any CEUs earned beyond what’s needed in that cycle aren’t credited toward the next cycle. The idea is to refresh standards and ensure each renewal period reflects current practice. For example, if you completed more than 20 CEUs in the current period, only up to 20 count toward renewing that cycle, and the excess won’t be available for the next one. This is why the correct statement is that extra CEUs are not credited in the next biennial period. CEUs aren’t charged to the renewal fee based on carryover, and they don’t count toward any license exam requirement.
