North Dakota's continuing education cycle runs from November 16 through November 15. What happens if a licensee misses the November 15 deadline?

  1. The licensee gets a 30-day grace period automatically
  2. The license is suspended for one week only
  3. The Commission waives the requirement for that cycle
  4. There is no grace period; the licensee must renew as inactive for the next year
Show answer & explanation

There is no grace period; the licensee must renew as inactive for the next year — North Dakota provides no grace period for continuing education, so a licensee who misses the deadline must renew as inactive to avoid discipline.
