Enrollment

Enrollment is a one-time process through which LEED APs without specialty (those credentialed under the LEED AP for New Construction v2.0- v2.2 [NC] between January 2001 and June 30, 2009; the LEED AP for Commercial Interiors v2.0 [CI] between June 2006 and June 30, 2009; or the LEED AP Existing Buildings v2.0 [EB] between June 2006 and December 31, 2008) can complete prescriptive credential maintenance or retest to earn one of the new LEED AP with specialty credentials. At enrollment, LEED APs without specialty will also agree to continuing credential maintenance and the Disciplinary and Exam Appeals Policy.

Enrollment options

During the enrollment window, LEED APs without specialty have two options:
Option 1: Become a LEED AP with one or more specialties among BD+C, Homes, ID+C, ND, or O+M by passing one of the new specialty examinations.  LEED APs without specialty must register for the exam during their enrollment window (see below). To enroll through retesting, LEED APs without specialty must go to My Credentials and select Enroll in the LEED AP with specialty credential: Enroll through testing from the Current Options. (View Option 1 in the Enrollment Guide for more information.)

Option 2: Become a LEED AP with one or more specialties among BD+C, ID+C, or O+M by completing the prescriptive CMP requirements for the initial 2-year reporting period. To enroll through prescriptive credential maintenance, LEED APs without specialty must go to My Credentials during their individual enrollment window and select Enroll in the LEED AP with specialty credential: Enroll through prescriptive credential maintenance from the Current Options. (View Option 2 in the Enrollment Guide for more information.)
If LEED APs without specialty choose not to enroll, they'll continue to be a LEED AP without specialty in the LEED Professional Directory. LEED APs without specialty are not required to do any credential maintenance or pay any fees to remain in the LEED Professional Directory. (View Remaining a LEED AP without specialty in the Enrollment Guide for more information.)

Enrolling by December 31, 2009

LEED APs (without specialty) who enroll prior to December 31, 2009, will be eligible to earn CE hours for all volunteer and committee work completed since January 1, 2009, and all other activities completed since July 8, 2009.
