CE Credit Policies for AdvanceU and Legal & Legislative Update Programs

CE Credit Policies for the AFA Annual Meeting

  2. Certified Student Affairs Educators (CSAEd) are expected to complete the session feedback form for each CE-eligible session they attend throughout the conference. Certified Student Affairs Educators (CSAEd) are also strongly encouraged to utilize the provided CE tracking worksheet to keep track of their sessions and CE credit throughout the conference. 
  3. At the end of the conference, an overall CE evaluation form will be shared with CSAEd to allow them to designate which CE credits they would like to receive for each session. Please note that while a session may be eligible for multiple CE credit categories, you may only select a single category towards which you would like to receive CE credit (you may not “double dip” and receive CE credit for multiple categories for one session).

  4. Upon completion of the overall CE evaluation form, AFA staff will verify session attendance and create a CE certificate, which can be used when CSAEd apply for CE credit.
