Carryover is program-specific. Verify whether excess credits can move into the next cycle and whether category-specific credits have separate limits.

First determine whether carryover exists

Do not assume surplus credit moves forward. Verify whether the authority permits carryover and which activity categories are eligible.

Apply the cap and source-cycle rules

Record the maximum amount, the cycle in which the activity was earned, and any restrictions on carrying mandatory-category credit into the next period.

Keep surplus evidence even after renewal

If a later cycle relies on carried credit, retain the original completion evidence and the rule that allowed the carryover.
