What to verify before renewal
Confirm the cycle dates shown in your own credential record, the total requirement, mandatory categories, activity eligibility, reporting method, fees, and what happens if the credential lapses. Published requirements can change between cycles.
Do not confuse completion with renewal
Completing education or maintenance activities is often only one step. Depending on the credential, you may also need to report activity, complete a maintenance module or assessment, pay a renewal fee, or submit an application.
