Rules to know

You verify your credits on the renewal form; without that, the license isn't renewed.
If you were licensed partway through the cycle, prorate the 24 credits by months licensed.
Presenting, teaching and other activities count, each with its own cap and documentation in the rule's table.
Keep documentation for 2 years after renewal.
One continuing competency credit (CCC) is one contact hour (50 minutes or more); 1 CEU is 10 CCCs.
