ADRE Rules allows for up to 9 continuing education credit hours per day for renewal.  Our system is designed to prevent you from completing more than 3 courses in one day to adhere to this rule.

If you are unsure of whether or not you need to complete 24 or 30 hours of continuing education for renewal, ADRE has this answered on the FAQs page under the Student section - Continuing Education: Who must take the 9-hr BMC?
