According to the ASHA Continuing Education Board (CEB) Manual, CEUs are recorded in tenths of a CEU. One contact hour of educational activity equates to 0.1 CEU. Fractions of an hour are dropped when calculating the number of CEUs earned. This means that quarter and half hours are not counted when calculating ASHA CEUs. This is the standard that has been set and to which ASHA holds DSHA accountable, as a CE Provider. There are no exceptions to this standard, to ensure that all “emergencies” are treated the same way.
While the DSHA Executive Council understands that emergencies cannot be avoided, we found that we needed to initiate a more stringent attendance policy which became effective October 2004. The conference times are listed on your registration form. Please do not register for a conference if you are unable to arrive on time or stay until the end.
- Attendees who arrive after 8:45 (conference registration is 8:00 to 8:30) will lose one (1) full hour of continuing education. Attendees who arrive after 9:30 will lose two (2) full hours of continuing education.
- Attendees who need to leave before the close of the conference are asked to leave during the afternoon break (usually around 2:30) to minimize distractions during the conference. They will lose two (2) full hours of continuing education. If planning to leave early, please speak to the Conference Registrar before the end of the lunch break. This will allow for the adjusted CEU certificate to be ready at the afternoon break.
- At the completion of the conference, attendees will receive their certificate of attendance directly from a member of the Conference Committee. If you are not in attendance to pick up your certificate, it will be mailed to you. You will lose two (2) full hours of continuing education credit.
- A waiting list is kept and no substitutions may be made without the prior approval of the Conference Registrar.
- Conference content is intended for professional development purposes. Children and guests cannot be accommodated.
- If special accommodations are required, please indicate that when registering.
Thank you for your cooperation.
