(a) MET activities may be accredited, on a case-by-case
basis, upon the written application of a sponsor or public retirement
system on behalf of its own trustees or system administrator. All
applications for accreditation of an MET activity by a non-accredited
sponsor shall:
(1) be submitted at least 30 days in advance of the
activity, although the Board, at its discretion, may approve applications
filed less than 30 days in advance of the activity, or may approve
applications filed after the activity, in exceptional cases;
(2) be submitted on a form provided by the Board;
(3) contain all information requested on the form;
(4) be accompanied by a sample agenda or course outline
that describes the course content, designates the courses sought to
be accredited as an MET activity, identifies the instructors, lists
the time devoted to each topic, and shows each date and location at
which the program will be offered; and
(5) include a detailed calculation of the total MET
hours for the course and the hours that correspond to each core and
non-core topic the course covers.
(b) A separate application is required for each activity
unless the activity is being repeated in exactly the same format but
on different dates and/or locations. Repeat presentations may be added
to an existing application for a twelve month period following the
effective date of accreditation.
(c) The Board shall review each application and notify
the applicant of acceptance or rejection of the activity. An acceptance
in any given year shall not bind the Board to accept a sponsor or
activity in any future year.
