Successive Year Rule
The SAFE Act stipulates that a state-licensed MLO may not take the same approved course in the same or successive years to meet the annual requirements for continuing education.
NMLS has interpreted the term successive years
to mean two years in a row.
This Course is Not Successive Year Compliant
