RegTraC Recertification Requirements and Guidelines

Summary of Recertification Process

  • CUCE designations must be renewed every 3 years.

  • Thirty (30) credits of Compliance continuing education are required for recertification. A listing of applicable continuing education activities appears below, including the UPDATE school. The 30 hours of continuing compliance education requirement can be fulfilled by attending the Regulatory Compliance Update School or the entire Regulatory Compliance Update eSchool.  All credits must be earned within the 3-year recertification period.

  • Candidates must pass a recertification exam consisting of multiple choice and true/false questions on regulatory changes during the preceding 3 years.

  • There is a $115 fee if you recertify on your own. Materials and testing are included if you recertify at the Regulatory Compliance School Update.

Steps to Recertification

Step 1 Complete 30 credits of compliance continuing education during your 3-year certification period.
Step 2 Information and an application form is sent to you for your recertification year.
Step 3 List your qualifying compliance continuing education credits on the RegTraC Recertification Application. Note: you only need to complete the application for self-study recertification.
Step 4 If you wish to recertify on your own, your Review Workbook and Exam Request Form are sent to you. If you attend a CUNA Update school, the workbook and exam will be provided there.
Step 5 Prepare for your exam. Use the Review Workbook to study and review. Schedule an exam date with your proctor.
Step 5a For Self-Study only: When you have an exam date, mail or fax the Exam Request Form.
Step 5b For Self-Study only: When your request is received, exam materials are sent to your proctor.
Step 6 Take your recertification exam. Results for self-study students are mailed 4 weeks after your proctor mails your exam to the National Processing Center. Attendees at the Update school receive their grades the day after the exam.
Step 7 Your Recertification Certificate is mailed to you 6–8 weeks after processing the exam.
