AICP’s Certification Maintenance Credits

We post opportunities for CM credits as we are aware of them on our APA Indiana events page. To add an event to the calendar, please send an email to administrator@indianaplanning.org with the event name, date, time, location, description, and website (if applicable).  Events may include affiliated disciplines such as architecture, urban design, economic development, community development, etc.

Certification Maintenance (CM)

  • For questions regarding what educational opportunities will offer CM credit, please contact the coordinator or identified contact for each specific opportunity (or the originator of the email/notice).
    • All education offering CM credit should be identified by the CM notation, e.g.
  • Please note: Some providers of educational opportunities may not be aware of the AICP CM credit program, and this would be a good opportunity to let them know that there is interest among our membership to become an approved CM provider and offer their education for CM credit. You can find more information about becoming an approved CM provider here.

Self-reported/Self-study

Members are allowed to report up to 8 CM credits that are from planning-related activities meeting the criteria and are not registered by an educational provider. Click here to learn more about the criteria to Self-Report your education.

How to Self-Report

The ability to claim these “self-reported” credits is located on your personal CM log, here.

Earn CM Credit for Pro Bono Planning Service

Pro bono planning service is an option within the self-report option. AICP members may self-report a maximum of eight CM credits in a two-year
reporting period (excludes the required mandatory topics CM law, CM ethics, CM equity and CM sustainability & resilience). Click here to learn more
about the pro bono option.

Partial CM Credit

Members are not allowed to claim partial credit for an activity. Members can only log the number of credits that are registered by the provider. If your event is designed to offer the flexibility of attending a portion of the full event (e.g. attendees being able to attend one-day out of a two-day workshop, or half of a full day event), then we encourage you to register it for CM credit under the “multi-part event” option.
