MCL 339.1808(2), states the Embalming and Resident Trainee Rating Reports are due semiannually on January 15 and July 15 showing the work which the trainee completed during the 6 months preceding the first of the month in which the report is made. Reports received after January 15 and July 15 are considered to be late submissions.

After the completion of your Resident Trainee time and service requirements, and all the requirements for the Mortuary Science License application have been met, the Department will email you with instructions on how to register for the exam. You cannot take the exam while licensed as a Resident Trainee.

Per Rule 339.18923, for at least 12 months (time requirement) and until all required services have been performed. Your time begins on the date you obtained your Resident Trainee license. If you perform services when your license is not in an "active" status, you will not receive credit for the services performed. You are allowed a one-time renewal of your Resident Trainee license.

You would need to submit two Embalming and Resident Trainee Rating Reports. One report would be completed by the initial sponsor and one would be completed by the new sponsor. Be sure that you submitted a "Change of Sponsor" application online in MiCLEAR to update the new sponsor once that changed.

Email the Department before any missed deadline at CSCLonline@michigan.gov or call us at (517) 241-9221. You need to keep reports in an accessible place so that you can use them for your next reporting period.
