Sec. 196.2. Equivalency—prelicensing education

The criteria for determining acceptance of courses completed prior to January 1, 1993 shall be that the course or courses have substantially covered the same subject matter, classroom hours of attendance and completed standards as prescribed by the regulations as a prerequisite of licensing. Applications for past course evaluation shall be accompanied by an official transcript or other documentation showing the subjects taken and hours of instruction devoted to each subject and the hours attended by said applicant together with the date completed. The department may request additional supportive documentation to determine course equivalency. Equivalency credit will be granted in 15 hour segments for courses deemed by the department as equivalent to Module 1, Module 2, Module 3 and Module 4. Equivalency credit will be granted in 21 hour segments for courses deemed by the department as equivalent to Module 5. If an applicant receives partial credit towards the 81 hour education requirement, the applicant may choose any of the five approved modules to complete the requirement.
