During the final weeks before the annual continuing education (CE) deadline of June 10th, no one enjoys heated calls from irate students. And educators are seldom happy to receive a call about inaccurate course submissions from Commission staff.
To minimize awkward phone calls, EPs are strongly encouraged to take extra care when preparing course rosters for submission. Delays in course submissions or inaccurate reporting can cause a license to be declared inactive on July 1st! Obviously, this will affect the brokerage practice of the individual broker and their clients while errors are corrected.
Educators should start by verifying the license number and correct spelling of student names at check-in by requiring students to show their license pocket card. This may require a little more time before class begins, but it is not difficult to do, even for synchronous courses.
