Review, Report and Submit CE Credits
Unless otherwise indicated, ASPPA will post CE credits earned to the member's record automatically for any ASPPA educational activity. Please allow 60 days for the online reporting form to reflect earned CE credits. The amount of CE reported in the member record must be confirmed by the member as having been earned. This can be done online by pressing the submit button once all the requirements have been met.
To see the status of your CE fulfillment click here and log in to the ASPPA web site.
For all non-ASPPA CE categories, the member should self-report any CE credits earned, but not reflected in the member's record using the 2013/2014 CE Online Reporting Form .
Non Compliance
If you do not earn sufficient CE credits during any CE cycle, ASPPA will suspend your credential(s) until you have completed sufficient CE credits to apply for reinstatement as a credentialed member in 24 months prior.
