Registrants can now renew their registration with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Workers (the College) for 2025. As part of the renewal, you will be asked to provide confirmation of your participation in the Continuing Competence Program (CCP) for 2024.
The deadline to complete your 2025 renewal and payment is December 31, 2024. Registrants who do not renew by the deadline risk having their certificate of registration suspended for non-payment of fees.
New registrants who were issued a certificate of registration at any time in 2024 are also required to complete their 2025 renewal and provide confirmation of participation in the CCP for 2024. Renewals are based on the calendar year, and not the date of initial registration.
If you do not intend to renew your registration for 2025, submit your notice of resignation in the Online Portal. Click on “Request Status Change” under the “Request” tab.
REQUEST STATUS CHANGE
You can request a change in your class of certificate of registration (to retired, inactive or return to the general class) in the Online Portal. Click on “Request Status Change” under the “Request” tab. Note: You are still required to renew your registration even if you move into a new class of registration.
NEW! RENEWAL TUTORIAL VIDEOS AND UPDATED WEB RESOURCES
To help registrants navigate the renewal process, the College has developed three tutorial videos:
- General information on how to renew
- How to sign in to the Online Portal
- Accessing the “My Profile” tab in the Online Portal, where registrants can change and update their academic history, employment history and personal information, as well as access their receipts and invoices
Additional information about renewals can also be found on the new Annual Renewals webpage.
If you have additional questions about the renewal process, contact the Registration and Renewals Department at info@ocswssw.org or 416- 972-9882. Staff are available Monday-Friday, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
The College experiences a high volume of emails and calls during December. If you have questions about your renewal, we encourage you to contact us as early as possible to ensure that there is enough time for us to respond before the renewal deadline.
