 Earning ASHA Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
You can earn up to 2.4 ASHA CEUs at the ASHA Convention. Simply record all your Convention CEU activities on one form during Convention. After Convention, you'll be able to print a report from a secure Web site that lists all the sessions you attended for CEUs.
ASHA CEUs are awarded for attending short courses, seminars, instructional courses, audiology keynotes, poster sessions, and technical sessions (any session with a four-digit session number in this program). ASHA CEUs are not awarded for attending committee and board meetings, exhibits, special events, or social activities. There are a few Convention activities (e.g., pre-Convention workshops) that award CEUs separately from the rest of the Convention. CEU availability will be mentioned in the descriptions of these activities.
Detailed information on earning ASHA CEUs will be available in San Diego at the Convention Center.

ASHA Continuing Education Provider approval does not imply endorsement of course content, specific products, or clinical procedures.
