The credit previously awarded for the time alloted to take the post test portion of the program will no longer count for credit. Therefore, when programs are renewed by the ASRT the values decrease.

The ARRT states "that before a homestudy course can be completed for credit a second time, the content of the activity must have been substantially changed. The activity should have a different reference number and different post-test."
