Which CE credits cannot be used for the subsequent renewal period?

The choice regarding CE credits earned during the late renewal period cannot be used for the subsequent renewal period because continuing education (CE) credits typically must be earned within the designated renewal cycle to count toward that cycle's requirements. When a licensee fails to renew on time and takes courses during the late renewal period, those credits are intended to fulfill the requirements of the current cycle rather than being applied to future renewals.

In contrast, credits earned in the prior period, online courses, or those from accredited institutions may still have relevance depending on the rules governing the specific licensing or renewal period. It's important for licensees to keep these timelines and restrictions in mind when managing their CE credits to ensure they meet all renewal obligations effectively.
