Submit the "Affidavit for Exemption from Continuing Professional Education", the appropriate "Affidavit for Exemption" and any other required supporting documents to the Board.

As an example, if you will be on active military duty, you qualify for Exemption E. Submit the "Affidavit for Exemption from Continuing Professional Education" form, the "Affidavit for Exemption E" form, and a copy of your military orders.

Required Forms and Documents:

Please use Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Pro to fill out forms online or on your computer. Many browsers use a different PDF viewer by default that doesn’t support fillable form fields. Before working with a PDF form, please make sure that your computer has a recent version of Adobe Reader installed. To download and install Acrobat Reader DC for free, visit the Adobe Acrobat Reader webpage:https://get.adobe.com/reader/. If you are using MS Edge, downloading the form is your only option because the Edge browser does not support fillable PDF forms. If you continue to have difficulties, please contact your organization’s IT department.
