Early-Bird Renewal Fee Reminder
There are just a few more days to take advantage of ACOT’s early-bird renewal fee.
Important!! – remember to:
· login in to cancel your practice permit if you are not planning to renew,
· renew before 11:59pm on Friday February 14, 2025, to get the $550 early-bird renewal rate. Those renewing between Feb 15-28, 2025, will be invoiced for the full renewal fee of $650.
Please note: Your application will only be considered complete once payment has been received.
Approval Process for Profile Updates during Renewal
We appreciate your commitment to maintaining an up-to-date profile with ACOT this renewal season!
If you have made any profile updates, such as changes in legal name, employer information, education, or any other category not available on the website renewal dropdown, kindly note that these changes require approval from the ACOT Registration Team before you can proceed to the payment/invoice stage.
Due to the high volume of renewal activities, we ask for your patience during this process. Our dedicated team is working diligently to review and approve all profile updates, and we aim to complete this within 3-5 business days.
Your cooperation and understanding are highly appreciated as we strive to ensure the accuracy and completeness of your profiles.
Thank you.
Challenges Completing Renewal
ACOT recognizes how challenging it can be to fit in registration renewal with all the other things going on, from the pressures in OT practice to life events outside of work. Remember to schedule this legal obligation in well before the end of February, to save yourself from the stress of missing the renewal deadline. Each year several people miss the deadline and are required to re-apply to ACOT. The process can take up to two weeks or more, as a new criminal record check with vulnerable sector check is required, along with the new application and associated fees.
During the reapplication period, OTs are not able to work, and we are not able to expedite the process due to the volume of re-applications being received. Thank you for your attention to renewal requirements, and for all your service to Albertans.
