  new roles.

Continuous LearningFrequently Asked Questions
19

• Q The system is asking me to log on by
  inputting my SSN and DOB. I have been told not
  to supply that info on the system as a security
  precaution. What can I do to register?
• A We understand your concerns with security,
  and we have taken precautions to ensure that your
  information is secure. You will not be eligible
  to participate in any CL activities without
  providing your DOB and SSN, as it is an online
  registration system and manual enrollment is not
  acceptable.

  achievement. Why doesnt it expire two years
  from today?
• A CL certificates are issued for a two-year
  period starting with the baseline achievement
  date entered in the system during the initial
  log-on. The certificate expires two years from
  the end of the current CL period. A certificate
  is issued when 80 points are achieved for the
  current CL period, and it expires two years from
  the end date of the current CL period.
• A student can continue to earn points after they
  receive their certificate, but they will not be
  applied towards the next 2-year period until the
  end date indicated on the certificate is met.
