What the North Carolina baseline tells you
The 15-PDH figure is useful for estimating your gap and pace, but it is not the complete renewal rule. Activity type, timing, carryover, exemptions, and documentation can change whether a specific course counts.
Category and ethics check
The state row includes 1 ethics hour. Track those fields separately from total PDHs.
Before you renew
- Confirm the renewal deadline and reporting period in your board record.
- Verify exemptions, carryover, provider/activity eligibility, and any limits on self-study or other formats.
- Keep course title, provider, completion date, PDH amount, category, and certificate together.
- Check the final license status after filing rather than assuming completion of education renewed the license.
