If you hold a license in another state, hours may be considered toward your Maryland electives. To find out, fax the out-of-state CE course completion certificate(s) for approval at least 30 days prior to renewal to the Education Administrator, 410-333-0023; include your out-of-state license number as well as a return fax number. Sorry, "postlicensing" courses from other states are not recognized for Maryland CE.
