Hello Sparrow,

Thanks a lot for clarifying my doubts. I read the colorado rules and now I am quite confident that I can apply for license even after 5 years from passing the exams. 

I think, I might have got the wrong impression about the 5 years period from the work experience requirement which says that experience should be gained 5 years preceding the application date. My friends also told me that license should be applied within 5 years from passing the cpa exam or else you have to give the exams again.

Anyways , I have wrote an email to the colorado board also in the meantime to clarify this and will keep you posted about it.

I am also exploring the options of education in lieu of experince.

Thanks a ton,

Shweta 

Hi Sparrow,

I got the reply from Nasba as follows:

"Good morning,

Yes, your exam credits do not expire after 5 years. 

The experience must be met no more than 5 years preceding the date of your application for licensure.  If you apply today, the experience must be completed sometime within the previous 5 years.



Thank You,

I did not hear back from Colorado yet, I will try to reach them again...

Thanks,
