Division Continuing Ed C.E. Bank Changing Requirements

C.E. Bank Update: Division Continuing Ed C.E. Bank Changing Requirements.

The Division of Real Estate allows Utah licensees to personally “bank” their own “unbanked” CE hours…which are then later verified by your Course Certificate and/or the C.E. course provider who also must bank your credit hours within ten days of course completion.

The feature has been available to licensees during a current two year crossover period… but the two years is up soon.

The Division announced in its March 2008 Newsletter that personally banking your “unbanked” credits is expiring and going away effective July 1, 2008. CE hours can be banked only by the course provider after July 1, 2008.

Class Star personnel have always banked your CE credits within a few hours of completion of the course, and this course provider is presently refining automatic submission of your credits to the C.E. credit bank. Try Class Star when you’re at the last minute …

Some online course vendors place all of your CE credit info and certificates in the U.S. Mail—the very slowest method possible.

The reason to be aware of the changing requirement is that your credits must be banked by your license renewal date. This is not the same as “course completed” by your renewal date. Your CE course vendors still have ten days to get your info reported—regardless of when your license renews; and so for those of you who wait until the last minute (I think I’m one of them); check with the vendor first to determine how soon your credits will be banked.

Talk to me about CE banking. I’m happy to help in any way possible.

See you again.
