Boards do not transfer or accept expired credits. You are subject to the rules and requirements of the board you are currently a candidate of.

Does this apply to all jurisdictions?

Not all boards will adopt the credit relief initiative. The board of accountancy is the only entity with the authority to grant, extend, or revoke credit.   

How do I know if my jurisdiction will adopt this credit relief initiative?
