Keep it safe
Everything here lives in this browser on this device. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else. Keep your CE certificates for one year past your "valid through" date. Back it up before you switch phones or clear your browser.
How to renew
- Earn 80 CE hours in the 5 years, 8 of them ethics. Page: "Board-Certified Case Managers must earn 80 hours of continuing education every five years (8 of the total 80 need to be ethics-related*), or retake the exam."
- Upload as you go on your Commission dashboard. Pre-approved courses are free to add; courses that weren't pre-approved cost $15 each to post-approve. ACMA-approved credits count too.
- Renew inside your window. For a May 31 date it opens March 1; for November 30, September 1. The Submit Renewal button turns on once you have 80 hours and are within 3 months of your date.
- Pay $299 by credit card with any post-approval fees. The renewal isn't complete until everything is paid.
- Short on hours? Re-take the exam ($494: $299 renewal plus $195 exam). Tell The Commission before the last day of the exam application window before your renewal (for November, the August window).
- Keep your certificates for one year past your "valid through" date, in case of a random audit.

If your date passes
- Guide: "Failure to renew your certification will result in the expiration of your certified status."
- A late renewal request is reviewed only within 90 days after your "valid through" date, with all 80 hours done before the date. You also need "A clear and compelling reason (that can be documented)". Not getting a reminder doesn't count. It costs $175 plus the $299 renewal.
- After 90 days the request is denied without review. You reapply under current standards and pass the exam again.
