(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.
