What Sponsors Need to Know

The time period for the program listing depends on the type of application/form being completed.  If you are completing an initial application or an additional delivery method application, the program listing is forward-looking.  That is, we are looking for the program offerings planned for the upcoming 12-month period.

If you are completing a renewal application or responding to the desk audit process by completing the request for a program list, we are looking for the programs offered in the past 12 month period based on the sponsor's renewal date.

For example, on July 1, 2016, you received your renewal application stating that your membership will expire on August 1, 2016 (renewal date).  Then, the requested program list to be submitted with your renewal application should cover the previous 12-month period based on the renewal date or August 1, 2015 through July 31, 2016.

For the compliance audit process, you will be notified of the audit time period through your audit acknowledgement form. You can also find the audit period timetable here.
