How to Apply

Upon graduation, students should email the Assistant Dean for Academic Operations to request a letter of certification. If the student is eligible, the Associate Dean will issue the letter of certification, which the student can submit to CCB. Certification allows students to sit for the exam without any continuing education units or prior work experience. Students have a period of two years from the completion of the program to sit for a CCB exam. Note, however, that continuing education units (CEU) expire after one year, so a student who sits for a CCB exam more than one year after graduation will need to accrue additional CEUs to sit for the exam. For more information, see the CCB website.
