With the end of the State of Emergency from COVID taking place on June 15, 2021, the clock began to tick for the 90-day window where individuals were able to complete their entire continuing education requirements online for the MA Construction Supervisor License. This means, in order to qualify, your continuing education must be received by the state by/on September 13, 2021. For you to qualify to complete your entire course online, your continuing education submission window would begin within 60 days prior to September 13, 2021. For example, while your MA Construction Supervisor License may not expire until October 1, 2021, you would have received your notice 60 days prior to your expiration date, which means you qualify to complete the entire course online, AS LONG AS YOU COMPLETE AND SUBMIT BY SEPTEMBER 13, 2021.
This can be a little confusing, so here are some facts laid out in bullet points:
- All complete renewal packets received by/on September 13, 202 will be able to use all online classes.
- Complete renewal packets can be dropped off at 1000 Washington Street, Boston, MA. Renewals will not be processed while you wait, however, your renewal will be accepted and your license will be mailed once processed.
- You are able to submit your renewal online via the state portal, however, we highly suggest NOT doing this on September 13th. A few days prior will ensure there are no issues.
- A person does not need to have their renewal form in hand if renewing online via the state portal. Sixty calendar days prior to an expiration date, the renewal is "generated". If an individual goes to renew on the website and is not found, wait a day and try again. For this reason, we strongly recommend not trying to force your way through if you fall on September 13th.
- Sixy calendar days does NOT mean November 13th. Of course, October has 31 days, so again, if you're going to gamble on being able to submit on September 13th, we are not able to help you if the state does not accept your renewal because you are a day or two early.
