CE Cycle Expiration Change FAQs

If your credential expired December 31, 2025: Your new certificate was mailed when you were recertified in Winter 2026. Your certificate now reflects the new March 31, 2031 expiration date.

If your credential did not expire in 2025: Your new certificate reflecting the March 31 expiration date was mailed in Spring 2026. Your continuing education cycle has been advanced three months to the March 31 expiration date.

If your address is correct in your MY ABC account, please reach out to the CE team for further assistance. If your address is incorrect, please update it promptly. You can also order an additional copy of your certificate in your MY ABC account.

In response to feedback from the profession, the new expiration date of March 31 helps address several challenges. This change provides additional time after the busy year-end and holiday season to complete CEUs, making the schedule more manageable for many credential holders. It also offers individuals greater flexibility in fulfilling their CE requirements, as well as the opportunity to attend national meetings routinely held in February and early March.

Now that your expiration date has been updated to March 31, you are required to meet your continuing education credits by this date. Your next continuing education cycle will begin on April 1 and end on March 31, five years later. This replaces the previous January 1–December 31 cycle format.

No. The number of CEUs required remains the same.
