Why A is correct
C.R.S. § 10-2-301 allows a maximum carryover of 12 credit hours, and only for hours earned during the 120 days before the continuation date. Hours earned earlier in the cycle apply only to the current requirement, no matter how far over 24 the producer went. For a Colorado producer, the practical takeaway is that surplus coursework only becomes next-cycle credit in the final 120-day stretch, so front-loading a big year does not bank credit for the future.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) Even though the cap is 12 hours, carryover credit is limited to hours earned in the final 120 days, not anything earned during the whole cycle.
- C) Carryover is capped at a fixed 12 credit hours, not a percentage of the requirement.
- D) The window runs BEFORE the continuation date, not after, and the cap is 12 credit hours rather than 24.
Memory hook
Last 120 days, 12 hours max — that is all that carries forward.
