The CEU submission step in the renewal workflow has been streamlined for 2026. This step will now require you to only enter the following information:
Total number of CEUs being submitted.
Please enter the total number of CEUs you are submitting with your renewal.
Total number of CEUs applied as rollover from 2025 (if no rollover from 2025, please enter 0)
Please enter the total number of rollover/surplus CEUs you have from 2025 that you would like use toward 2026. Please note: it is the responsibility of the licensee to track all CEUs submitted each year.
Total number of CEUs being applied to 2026.
Please enter the total number of CEUs you would like to apply to 2026 (this could be the same number as the first entry, if you have no rollover from 2025).
Total number of CEUs applied as surplus to 2027 (if no surplus, please enter 0)
Please enter the total number of CEUs you would like to indicate are rollover to 2027, if applicable.
Upload all Certificates/Proof of Continuing Education (multiple attachments can be submitted)
Please upload all CEU certificates and proof of continuing education earned. Please note: if submitting an RID transcript for proof of CEUs, please highlight/circle/indicate which CEUs you are utilizing for the 2026 renewal.
My submission was rejected, how do I find out why?
When you are logged into Certemy on your computer, click on “my NC license”, then whichever step in the workflow that was rejected will have a little pink box (see above image for reference) that reads “rejected by verifier”, click on that box and a message will pop up to indicate why the information was rejected. You will also receive an email with the reason why the step in the workflow was rejected. Please correct the information and resubmit.
I have a surplus from last year that I want to apply to this year. I do not remember what I submitted for CEUs last year how do I find this information?
There are two ways to access this information:
- Log into Certemy and then click on “digital wallet” then “general”. Anything that you have uploaded from previous years will appear here.
- Log into Certemy, and then click on “my NC license” then “show all”, locate last years renewal workflow and click on it. On the right hand side, click on “continuing education” and then scroll to the bottom of the page. All uploads from last year will be listed there.
How long are surplus CEUs valid for?

I need a receipt for the renewal payment, how do I get one?

Are we allowed to obtain all our CEUs required to renew online?
Yes, the Board removed the requirement for obtaining CEUs in a traditional classroom setting. A licensee may obtain all CEUs online, if desired.
