Renewal by Continuing Education
Post-Application Information
Receipt of Application
NCBDE processes applications approximately three weeks after receipt. Notices verifying receipt are sent by e-mail at that time. See Adherence to Published Policies section, page 6 of the Renewal Handbook, for recommended mailing method. If the e-mail receipt notifi cation is not received within 5 weeks after application is mailed, contact NCBDE at (847) 228-9795 or via email at info@ncbde.org.
Review of Applications for Renewal by Continuing Education
Review of applications for renewal of continuing education is completed as quickly as possible. However,
depending upon submission date, the review process can be conducted as late as November or December*.
With completion of the review process, notices are sent
to individuals as soon as possible. Decisions regarding
renewal by continuing education are communicated in
writing via mail. The NCBDE national offi ce does not provide the status of an application via telephone, fax or electronically.
*NOTE: Though all possible efforts will be made to prevent any individual applying for renewal by continuing education from receiving their letter of notifi cation after December 31, 2010, CDEs using the late application deadline should be aware that it is possible that they may not receive their letters of notifi cation until after that date. An individual should NOT use the CDE credential after December 31, 2010 until notifi cation that certifi cation has been renewed is received.
Certificates and Wallet Cards
Approximately three months after letters of successful completion of renewal of certifi cation by continuing education are mailed, complimentary certificates and wallet cards are provided by NCBDE.
