New Licensee Proration

Proration

Proration is assigned by the jurisdiction regulator. This article explains how proration displays on the user Compliance page.  

How proration works

When a regulator exempts a new licensee from CPE credit requirements for a set period after initial licensure you will see the requirements in each impacted requirement and sub-requirement as a fraction where the first number is 0  and the denominator is listed as the standard requirement.  

Example

Requirement Credits Exemption period

Compliance Display
Annual 20 First year of licensure

0/20
Total (reporting period) 120 First three years of licensure

0/120

Suppose a new licensee is licensed in 2026:

  • Annual requirement (20 credits): Exempt through 2026. Credits are required starting 1/1/2027.
  • Total requirement (120 credits): Exempt through 2028. Credits are required starting 1/1/2029.

Where to see proration in LCvista

When proration applies, the jurisdiction’s credit requirements are reduced, and a note shows how many credits were removed because of proration.

To see when a new licensee’s requirements begin, use the drop-down to view future reporting periods. Each requirement shows the date its credits start.
