CE Requirements (Per Rule 58A .1702)

Every license year, all licensees must complete 8 hours of CE to maintain an active license:

• Provisional Brokers and non-BIC/non-BIC-Eligible Brokers
  Take the General Update (GENUP) course plus one Commission-approved elective.
• BICs and BIC-Eligible Brokers
  Take the Broker-in-Charge Update (BICUP) course plus one Commission-approved elective to retain BIC/BIC-Eligible status.

Note: BIC-Eligible brokers who take the General Update instead of the BICUP will maintain an active license but lose their BIC/BIC-Eligible status.
