Deadline rule

Must renew before the certification expiration date shown in the Student Portal; may renew up to one year early (new period runs from original expiration date). One-year grace period after expiration with a late fee; after more than one year, full re-enrollment in the course is required.

ISSA certifications are valid for 2 years. Renewal requires 20 CEUs, a current CPR/AED certification, and submission through the Student Portal (3-5 business days processing). Standard renewal fee $99, may be waived if all 20 CEUs are completed through ISSA. Excess CEUs do not carry over to the next period. 'Certify for Life' option avoids future renewal fees. Evidence is ISSA's general renewal policy; no specialization-specific exception stated for Corrective Exercise Specialist.
