(c) The Board may, at its discretion, waive, extend or modify continuing education requirements on an individual basis for reasons of emergency or hardship, such as illness or disability that prevents attendance at or completion of continuing education, military service or other good cause as demonstrated by the licensee.

(d) Any licensee seeking a waiver, extension or modification of the continuing education requirements shall submit a request to the Board in writing specifying the reasons for the waiver, extension or modification. The licensee shall also provide the Board with such information as it may reasonably request in support of the request.
