Question
How long is a Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) valid for exam element credit?
Answer Options
- A) 30 days
- B) 180 days
- C) 365 days
- D) For as long as your current license is valid
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
After successfully passing a license element examination, the resulting Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) is valid for one year for the purpose of receiving element credit. FCC Rule \S 97.9(\text{b}) states that the grace period for credit is 365 days.
If the amateur does not apply for the license upgrade within 365 days of the CSCE date, the element credit expires, and they would have to retake that element. This allows an examinee ample time to complete the necessary paperwork and application process with the FCC.
