Which statement describes the impact of the hours above 20 on the next cycle?

• A. The entire CEU count is reset for the next cycle.
• B. A portion of CEUs can be carried forward.
• C. The hours above 20 are not credited in the next biennial period.
• D. All CEUs earned in the cycle are carried over to the next cycle.

Answer: (C)

In this licensing framework, continuing education hours are counted per biennial renewal, and you must meet a set minimum within each two-year cycle. The rule is that any CEU hours earned beyond the minimum do not roll over into the next cycle. So, if you completed more than the required hours in the current cycle, those extra hours won’t be credited toward the next cycle. This is why the statement that hours above the minimum are not credited in the next biennial period is the correct description. It reflects the no-carryover policy for excess CEUs between cycles.
