How CE fits into the Michigan renewal

Our records count these hours per renewal, so the renewal deadline is the date to plan around. Finish the courses early enough for the hours to be reported and for the certificates to reach you, then renew on the official site. The full renewal rules, fees and late fees are in the Michigan Electrical renewal guide.
