ASHA 2017 Convention Program - 88

Earning Continuing Education Credit and Reporting Attendance

HOW TO SUBMIT
FOR CREDIT

Reporting Deadline: December 1, 2017

Go to www.asha.org/asha2017

1. Keep a personal record of the sessions you attend. You will need each session's four-digit session number.
2. No later than December 1, 2017, go to www.asha.org/asha2017

3. Select "Enter CE Credit Online" to login to the ASHA Learning Center and follow the instructions provided
to enter your sessions.
4. Once you have finished the reporting process, you will be able to print your Certificate of Completion.

You must enter your activities in the ASHA Learning Center to receive credit and earn ASHA CEUs or
professional development hours. This is also the only way to obtain a Certificate of Completion. You may enter
your activities after each session, or you may enter all your activities at once after the Convention is over.
Activities must be entered and finalized no later than 11:59 p.m., ET, Friday, December 1, 2017. If you need
a record of the activities in which you participated-or think you may need a record in the future-you must
report for credit by December 1.
Everyone should follow this process-including ASHA members, students, Clinical Fellows, audiology and
speech language pathology assistants, international affiliates, and nonmembers. It is the only way to officially
document your attendance and participation at this event. You do not need to join the ASHA CE Registry
to document your CE activities using this process. If you have questions about submitting for CE credit or
need assistance with reporting your sessions, please contact the ASHA Professional Development team
at ashaprofdev@asha.org.
There is a non-refundable $50 administrative processing fee to initiate an appeal if you do not report by
December 1. Appeals are adjudicated individually by the Continuing Education Board and may not be
granted. Per ASHA's Scientific and Professional Education Board, as of June 1, 2016, appeals will be accepted
only for 6 months from the published reporting/completion date for the program. See www.asha.org/
Professional-Development/appeals for more information about the appeals process.
