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.

Q: Just received my CL certificate of CL achievement. Why doesn’t 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.
