Dear Counselor.

Please review Managing Certification After the Final Compliance Date on the HUD Exchange for updates related to compliance. 

Please note that uncertified counselors and new counselors hired after August 1, 2021, may only perform administrative duties until they are HUD certified. The certification exam and training resources will continue to be available for anyone who wishes to take it.

Ticket from Jennifer Taylor - Certification Exam

I was scheduled to take the exam August 1, 2021, but had to rush a family member to the emergency room for heart rate and anxiety. I would like to take the exam. If that is not possible, I would like to receive a refund. I have documentation to support the emergency room visit. Please advise 832 275 7626. Thank you. Jennifer Taylor
