Important Credit Policy

Each attendee may request CE credit for a session either as a Live session OR as an OnDemand session — not both.

Once you submit a credit request for a session (whether watched live or watched OnDemand), you cannot submit another request for that same session in a different format.

• One CE credit request per session
• No duplicate credit requests for both Live and OnDemand formats

Please review your attendance carefully before submitting your CE request.

How to Receive CE Credits

To earn CE credit, you must:

1. Watch the full session
2. Complete individual session evaluations in Survey Magnet for each session you attended
3. Complete the Overall Conference Evaluation
4. Complete the “Request CE Credits” task

Once these steps are completed, CE certificate(s) will be automatically generated in the system showing the number of credits you’ve earned. You will then be able to download your certificate.

Accessing Survey Magnet:
