If a CM-Lean or CM-BIM holder fails to renew their credentials before their renewal date, they will be placed on a six (6) month probationary period. After the six (6) month period and up to one (1) year past their renewal date, a CM-Lean or CM-BIM holder must pay an increased renewal fee of $250 and submit their continuing education credits to renew their credentials.

Those who fail to submit their continuing education credits and renewal payment after one (1) year past their renewal date will lose the right to use the CM-Lean or CM-BIM designation in all its forms. If an individual seeks to regain their CM-Lean or CM-BIM status after one (1) year, they may do so by retaking and passing the most recent version of the CM-Lean or CM-BIM exam at their own expense.
