Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) A
			 provider registered under OAR 836-071-0235  shall apply to the director for
			 registration of each course to be offered by the provider for continuing
			 education credit. Application for registration shall be made electronically in
			 the method required by the director and shall include the name of the provider,
			 the provider's registration number assigned by the department, the course title
			 and credit hours suggested by the provider for the course, and if known, the
			 date, time and location of meetings of each course for which application is
			 made. The provider shall include the course outline with the registration
			 application and shall submit any other information requested by the director.
			 The course outline must show instruction in 50-minute periods.
(2) In order to ensure that a course is
			 eligible to be registered prior to the date of the first meeting of the course,
			 a registered provider must apply for registration of the course not later than
			 the 60th day preceding the first date.
(3) The registration of a course expires on
			 the last day of the 24th month after the date the course is registered unless
			 the course is renewed prior to the date on which registration expires. The
			 provider must apply for renewal of a course not later than the 21st day prior
			 to the date on which registration expires. If the director determines that the
			 course materials submitted with the renewal application are sufficiently
			 changed or otherwise so different that the course as a whole should be treated
			 as a new course rather than renewed, the course and its materials shall be
			 reviewed according to the review period established in section (2) of this
			 rule.
(4) Each course registration
			 application is subject to review by the director for the purpose of evaluating
			 and assigning credit hours and determining compliance with requirements of
			 course content under OAR 836-071-0230. The director may reject a course for
			 registration or terminate a course's registration if the director determines
			 that the course does not so comply.
(5) A registered provider shall resubmit a
			 registered course for review and approval whenever the provider substantially
			 changes the content of the course as registered.
(6) A provider shall notify the director
			 immediately of a cancellation or a change of date, time or location of a
			 scheduled class.
(7) A course
			 registration application that is submitted after the 60th day before the date
			 of the first meeting of the course is subject to approval or disapproval after
			 the date of the first meeting. If the director approves an application for
			 registration of a course that is submitted after the 60th day before the date
			 of the first meeting of the course and before the tenth day prior to the date
			 of that meeting, and if the provider gives notice of the course meeting as
			 required by OAR 836-071-0247, the provider may grant credit for the course
			 retroactively.
(8) A provider
			 domiciled in another state that is a member of the Midwest Zone Continuing
			 Education Reciprocity Agreement may offer in this state a course that is
			 registered in its domiciliary state if the provider registers the course as
			 provided in this rule. Such a course qualifies for registration if the director
			 determines that the subject matter of the course is not disqualified for credit
			 under OAR 836-071-0230(2). A course to which this section applies is subject to
			 renewal of its registration and the provider and the course are subject to the
			 other provisions of this rule.
(9)
			 All materials required under this rule shall be submitted electronically in
			 accordance with directions of the director set forth on the Division of
			 Financial Regulation website of the Department of Consumer and Business
			 Services at dfr.oregon.gov.
