Two Important Changes to Registrant Renewal
1. ONLINE Renewal Option: Beginning June 1, 2008 you can renew your COTBC registration online. Whether you renew online or return your renewal by mail, please note that you are also required to mail in verification of professional liability insurance to the college.
2. CRIMINAL RECORD RE-CHECK: Changes to the Criminal Records Review Act (the Act) requires the college to re-submit criminal record checks for all registrants with Criminal Record Check clearance letters older than five years.
Watch for more information on the flyer included with your registration renewal package and on the college website.
Please ensure that your annual registration is completed and returned to the college by June 30, 2008. This will avoid penalty fees and the risk of cancellation of your registration.
