Elena is a licensed Minnesota real estate salesperson who completed 30 hours of CE during the renewal cycle, but 8 of those hours were from a provider whose DOC approval had been revoked two months before Elena completed the course. Elena was unaware of the revocation. She submits her renewal application in good faith. Under Minnesota Department of Commerce rules, which of the following is the most likely outcome?

Correct Answer

B) Elena's renewal will not be approved for the full 30 hours because 8 hours from the revoked provider do not count, leaving her with only 22 qualifying hours.

Under Minnesota Department of Commerce rules, CE hours must be completed through providers that are approved by the DOC at the time the course is taken. If a provider's approval has been revoked, courses completed through that provider after the revocation date do not count as qualifying CE hours, regardless of whether the licensee was aware of the revocation. Elena completed 8 hours through a revoked provider, meaning only 22 of her 30 hours qualify. Her renewal application will not be approved until she completes 8 additional hours through a DOC-approved provider.

Answer Options
A
Elena's renewal will be approved because she acted in good faith and was unaware of the provider's revocation at the time she completed the course.
B
Elena's renewal will not be approved for the full 30 hours because 8 hours from the revoked provider do not count, leaving her with only 22 qualifying hours.
C
Elena's renewal will be approved, but the Department of Commerce will issue a formal warning to the revoked provider rather than penalizing Elena.
D
Elena's renewal will be approved because the provider's revocation only applies to courses completed after the DOC issues a public notice, which Elena did not receive.
