Which statement accurately reflects North Carolina continuing education rules under 11 NCAC 6A .0802?

Why D is correct

Under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(e),(f),(g), a licensee may not receive ICECs for the same course more than once in any biennial period, courses count only for the period in which they are completed, and licensees must keep CE records for 5 years. This prevents padding hours with repeats and ensures documentation survives an audit of past periods.

Why the other options are wrong

• A is wrong because courses count only for the period completed; there is no carryover of extra hours into the next biennial period.
• B is wrong because the same course cannot generate credit more than once within a single biennial period.
• C is wrong because the record-retention period is 5 years, not 2.

Memory hook

CE bookkeeping: no repeats, no carryover, records for 5 years.

Why C is correct

Under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(e),(f),(g), a licensee may not receive ICECs more than once for the same course within a biennial period, courses count only for the period in which they are completed, and the licensee keeps completion records for 5 years. Nonresidents who satisfy home-state CE requirements satisfy North Carolina's requirement under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(h).

Why the other options are wrong

• A) Repeated credit for the same course within a single biennial period is expressly barred by 11 NCAC 6A .0802(e).
• B) Courses count only for the period completed; there is no carryover under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(f).
• D) Home-state CE satisfaction is honored for nonresidents under 11 NCAC 6A .0802(h), so extra NC courses are not required.

Memory hook

No course repeats, no carryover, keep the paperwork 5 years.
