I did my application on line and it all passed. I am confused as to why you say I do not qualify.
There were some event that I did volunteer for that I could not make it due to family emergencies and this year has been full of them unfortunately. All of these were ok'd and replacements were found.
I did notice that some of the things I volunteered for that I could not make for the reasons above still show that I volunteered for them and they will not show hours worked because I did not complete them.
I have filled in all of my hours and do so within the first day or two of the event.
Please let me know what seems to be the problem as soon as possible.
Thank you

Check with your program coordinator for their recommendation on meeting the minimum CE hours by June. In most cases you should still be able to complete the reappointment process before the deadline.

The statewide office is not collecting the fees for reappointment. Please check with your county coordinator, director or advisor about where to submit payments.

Thanks!
Hours for the year are calculated from June 30 through July 1 - hours that you complete now still qualify for this year.
