CAE Renewal Advisory

For those renewing at the end of 2020, here is some vital information

To those who have completed and received their CAE accreditation, OSAE thanks you. As we have mentioned several times this year, the deadline has been extended for renewals due to the pandemic.

Due to the disruptions from COVID-19, the ASAE CAE Commission is offering additional options to assist those due to renew this year:

• The renewal deadline has been extended from Dec. 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021.
   
• The cap on self-study has been lifted. All 40 credits needed for renewal may be taken through any amount of live and/or approved self-study courses.
   
• The early renewal discount will be extended to completed renewals submitted through March 31, 2021. The discounted renewal fee is $275 for ASAE members and $425 for nonmembers.

These additional options apply only for this renewal cycle for those originally due to renew by December 2020. Forty credits will be required for renewal including one credit of ethics-focused education. Up to 10 credits from association management leadership, instruction or writing activities may still be applied to the application.
 
All 40 credits needed for renewal may be taken through any amount of live and/or approved self-study courses.

• The first 20 self-study CAE credits should be entered under the self-study section of the CAE renewal application
   
• Additional self-study courses should be entered under the “college course” section. The system will prompt you to upload your certificate of completion.

All credits for this renewal must have been earned from Jan.1, 2018 through March 31, 2021. All credits must be completed when you submit your application. Your completed renewal application with payment is due no later than March 31, 2021 in order to maintain your CAE designation. If you are looking for ways to obtain CAE credits, the Approved Provider list is an easy way to find organizations that offer qualifying education.
 
OSAE hopes that these changes implemented by ASAE's CAE Commission are helpful to you. Thank you for your commitment to excellence in association management and continued support of the CAE program.
