How To Report an Education Activity for LEED Credential Maintenance (CMP) Hours

LEED Credential Maintenance (CMP) Reporting Instructions for Education Activities

Participation in the LEED Credential Maintenance Program (CMP) is required for accredited LEED Green Associate and LEED AP+ professionals. One way to fulfill the renewal requirements is to participate in education activities, such as live or online courses. Once you complete these activities, you may need to report the hours to USGBC if the education provider does not automatically do so. Below are the instructions for reporting your LEED CMP education hours to USGBC.

Note: You have 90 days from the end of your reporting period to submit your hours to USGBC for approval & to renew your credential.

Login to your Credentials Account at http://www.usgbc.org/cm

1. Click the gray button that says “Report CE Hours”
2. Select “Education”
3. ID: Enter the course GBCI ID if applicable (usually located on your course certificate)
4. Title: Enter course title
5. Provided by: Green Education Services (or your education provider)
6. When: Enter the start and end date(s) of your course
7. Description: Provide a brief description of the course content
8. URL: Provide a URL of where to find information the course on the provider's website, if applicable
9.  LEED Specific: Select if the course is pre-approved for LEED specific hours. This should be indicated in the course description and/or certificate of completion. Select "None" if the course is only worth general hours.
10. CE Hours: Enter the total hours of the course.
11. Click "Submit"

You should now see the course reporting history, and total number of hours remaining to be eligible for renewal. Once you have all of your hours completed, be sure to click the gray "Renew My Credential" button to process your renewal, and you will be prompted by USGBC to pay a $50.00 biannual renewal fee to finalize the process.
