				hours of real estate instruction approved for continuing education credit by
				the Missouri Real Estate Commission. An active license is any license issued by

				commission by the school. It shall be the licensee's responsibility to report
				any missing information to the course provider so that accurate records of
				courses are reflected in the commission's records.
(3) At least three (3) hours of the twelve
				(12) hours of approved instruction shall be taken in a course identified by the
				Missouri Real Estate Commission and noticed on its official website, no later
				than March 31 of each even-numbered year as a core course for the following
