(b) To renew on time
without incurring a late fee, an applicant for renewal shall, by the 15th day
of the month of expiration, have completed all each of the continuing education

shall complete the online process, including the completion and banking of
continuing education credits, in the licensee's individual password protected
RELMS account, by the license expiration date.
(d) An individual whose circumstances require
a "yes" answer to a disclosure question on the renewal application shall submit
a paper renewal application:
(i) by the
license expiration date, if that date falls on a day when the division is open
for business; or
(ii) on the next
business day following the license expiration date, if that date falls on a day
when the division is closed for business.

course approved by the division; and
(III) taken during the previous license
period; or
(B) apply to
the division by the 15th day of the month of expiration for a waiver of all or

six hours of non-duplicative core topic or elective continuing education
hours.

certified the mandatory 3-Hour course and the 12-hour new sales agent course as

Completed continuing education courses will be credited to an individual when
the hours are uploaded by the course provider pursuant to Subsection
R162-2f-401d(1)(j).
(B) If a provider fails to upload course
completion information within the ten-day period specified in Subsection
R162-2f-401d(1)(j),
