What does the renewal notice for the initial renewal inform the licensee about the continuing education hours?

The renewal notice for the initial renewal informs the licensee about the continuing education hours required for the next renewal. This is important because it helps the licensee stay compliant with the ongoing educational requirements set by Oklahoma regulations. By knowing the specific number of hours needed, the licensee can plan their schedule accordingly to ensure they meet these requirements before their next renewal date.

Remaining options, although relevant to aspects of license renewal and continuing education, do not directly address the core purpose of the renewal notice regarding the specific educational hours needed. Fees, audit dates, and available courses are additional details that may be provided in various communications but are not the primary focus of the renewal notice itself. The emphasis is placed on the hours necessary for continued licensure, which directly impacts a licensee's ability to practice legally and ethically in Oklahoma.
