A 90-day grace period is offered to those who fail to meet the Recertification Requirements expiration date noted on the Certificant’s Certificate and NASP Student Portal. Should a Certificant fail to recertify within the initial recertification period, the Certificant will be required to complete the CEU requirements within the 90-day grace period and make a payment through the NASP Student Portal. Once the student has completed the Recertification Requirements, the Student Portal will reflect the new Recertification Cycle.
Please note if submitting CEUs during the 90-day grace period, any courses (CEUs) completed during this timeframe will not count or carry over towards the next recertification cycle. If a Certificant is within the 90-Day Grace period for recertification, the Certification Personnel will contact the issuer and verify external CEUs submitted for recertification using the Certificant name, course title, certificate number, and issuer information.
Certificants who fail to maintain their certification requirements will be required to reapply for eligibility, pay the application fee, pay the exam fee, and take the examination
If the individual does not successfully pass the examination after two exam attempts, they may reapply as a new applicant for the certification after one (1) year from the day of the last exam. They must meet all eligibility requirements and pay the associated fees.
Should a Certificant fall within the expiration category, the CSD & MSP Directory will reflect the Certificant Profile status of expired.
