A licensee, instructor, or course sponsor may present additional information to the Board for re-review. The Board may remove the program from this list once it reconsiders any additional information.

Note: OAR 811-015-0025(9)(L) states that a licensee may be allowed credit for "any other course or activity specifically authorized by the OBCE." If the rule does not clearly refer to a course or activity in which the licensee is interested, the Board interprets this language to mean submitting a question to the OBCE in writing, prior to completion or participation. (Refer to the full text of the rule 811-015-0025 before submitting any request.)
