FAQ
What 3rd party CE will be reported?
The following 3rd party CE will be reported on behalf of attendees: ERPA.
The following 3rd party CE will NOT be reported on behalf of attendees: JBEA. However, attendees will be provided with a certificate of completion and/or activity codes to self-report as indicated via the successful completion of the 3rd party CE verification form.
How can I see what 3rd party CE has already been requested and/or approved for this conference?
Please reference the Conference Session CE Eligibility outlining all conference sessions' CE eligibility and status. Note, this is a dynamic table and is often updated
After 1 hour of programing, how is CE determined?
After the first 50 minutes, CE hours may be accrued in 5-minute increments where 5 minutes is equal to one tenth (0.1) CE credits. For example, 75 minutes = 1.5 credit hours and 100 minutes = 2 credit hours. However, some 3rd party providers require their CE to be calculated in whole numbers rounding down.
Please note, the total amount of CE credits offered for each conference is determined by total event programming—attendees cannot attend concurrent sessions. However, attendees can attend additional educational opportunities when offered to earn CE. Please refer to the agenda page for more details on all session information.
When will I see my CE credits in my transcript after the conference?
Typically, the following CE (ASPPA, PSCA, NTSA, and NAPA) will be uploaded to attendees' transcripts 4-6 weeks post conference. For 3rd party CE that is reported on behalf of attendees, CE will also typically be uploaded 4- 6 weeks post conference.
To be credited for CE, be sure to use the email address and member ID associated with your membership. This will ensure a timelier CE upload post event.
How do I check my transcripts to review CE?
Go to your account and login, then follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Education tab and select CE Tracking on the left side.
- Under the My Account tab, click on CE Reports.
- Select the appropriate date range.
- Click Run to generate the report for the current CE cycle.
