Continuing Education FAQs
Many of the programs at The College qualify for state insurance Continuing Education. Follow the links below, organized by program at The College, to obtain recent CE credit information by course. Understand that this information changes frequently, and while we will do our best to provide current data, it is your responsibility to verify CE credits with your state.

In order to comply accurately with state requirements for processing CE, The American College takes the following approach:
- All students are required at the time they enroll in a course to request CE processing and provide their resident state license number.
- When CE is requested, applicable filing fees for the states that require them must be paid. When a passing grade is achieved, CE credit will be reported and filing fees paid in accordance with state regulations. If a student is late in requesting that CE be filed and the state charges a late processing fee as a result, that fee will be passed on to the student.
- When CE is declined, no fees will be assessed, completion of the course will not be reported to the state, and CE certificates will not be issued to the student.
- If you are currently enrolled in courses and want CE reported to your resident state but did not select CE when registering, please contact a Professional Education counselor at 888-263-7265, Monday - Friday from 8 am to 7 pm Eastern.
If CE was requested at course registration, credits will be reported in two weeks or less or within state guidelines if less than two weeks from the date of the exam. Most states have an electronic reporting system which means the credits will appear on the student's transcript shortly after being reported. Credits reported by paper roster will take longer, allowing for delivery time and manual processing by the state or CE vendor. Many states require paper rosters to report course completions that are outside the reporting allowance period. Paper rosters--whether mailed or faxed--are always processed in the order received regardless of the expiration date of individual licenses.
The following states currently require education providers to collect filing fees from students and submit these fees on their students' behalf:
The American College requires that the fees be collected prior to reporting credits to the state. Contact a Professional Education counselor at 888-263-7265 regarding unreported courses from these states.

The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) has recently switched to an outside company, Sircon, in order to keep track of Continuing Education (CE) credits for their producers. Sircon charges a processing fee of $0.75 cents per credit hour in the state of Texas. This charge will apply to any producer in the state of Texas who wants CE credits and passes the exam for their course after 2/17/09, even if the producer signed up for the course before the charge was in place. This charge applies to courses that are approved through Sircon. Courses that are reported to the TDI as a qualifying course will not be charged this fee.
