What may warrant a good cause for the KREC to grant an extension to complete continuing education?

Extensive medical issues can be considered a valid reason for the Kentucky Real Estate Commission (KREC) to grant an extension for completing continuing education requirements. The basis for this is grounded in the understanding that significant health challenges can hinder an individual’s ability to focus on their educational obligations. When a licensee encounters serious medical problems, it may be legitimate for them to request extra time to fulfill their educational requirements as their health should be prioritized. This compassionate approach recognizes that unexpected medical circumstances can arise, making it difficult for individuals to adhere to the standard timelines for education.

Other scenarios, such as job loss or relocation, while potentially significant, do not typically reflect the same degree of urgency or necessity for a time extension in the context of educational requirements. Additionally, personal vacation plans would not be regarded as a compelling reason for an extension, as they generally do not create the same level of disruption to one’s ability to complete required education as health issues do. Therefore, extensive medical issues are appropriately considered valid grounds for an extension by the KREC.
