North Carolina Administrative Code 21 NCAC 02.0905 Continuing Education Record Maintenance and Verification


  • To renew your license you must show that you obtained the contact hours during the previous CALENDAR year.
     
  • The hours are reported on your individual renewal. A simple statement asking if you have complied with the CE rule is on the form; you must check a box indicating “yes” or “no”. DO NOT SEND CONTINUING EDUCATION LOGS WITH RENEWAL TO THE BOARD OFFICE. You do not have to send your log unless you are specifically audited.
     
  • The CE rule provides three ways to log your CE credit.  A self-made log showing the type of activity claimed, sponsoring organization, location, duration, the name of the instructor and amount of hours earned, or a file of attendance certificates or other type of evidence of participation, or Records maintained by the AIA/CES.
     
  • The records must be retained for a period of six (6) years after the credit is claimed.
