ASHA Professional Development - Late Credit Requests and Appeals

Policy

To receive a session report/certificate of completion and earn ASHA CEUs or professional development hours (PDHs), participants must report your sessions and complete the learning assessment online by the published date. If you need a record of the sessions you attended or courses you completed—or think you may need a record in the future—you must complete the learning assessment by the published deadline.

The reporting/completion deadline for earning CE credit for ASHA Professional Development events/courses is clearly published for each individual program.

In-person events: The reporting deadline is clearly published on the event webpage and in printed materials.
Online conferences: The reporting deadline is clearly published on the event webpage and in the conference site.
Other online courses: The end date is clearly published as part of the course description page in the ASHA Learning Center and ASHA Store.

If you do not complete the learning assessment by the reporting deadline/end date and have extenuating circumstances, you may choose to apply for late credit within 12 months from the end date for the program, following the instructions below. This is a policy set by ASHA's Scientific and Professional Education Board, as of March 1, 2020.

ASHA Convention

Missed the deadline to report your sessions? You have 12 months from the Convention end date to request late credit if you have extenuating circumstances. There are two options for late credit requests:

Option 1: Certificate/Event Report Only

Best for: Attendees who track your own credits for licensure and certification and do not use the ASHA CE Registry

What you’ll get: An official certificate of completion showing sessions attended and PDHs earned

How to request:

Complete this web form. Be sure to include all required information to avoid delays.
Wait for processing. We review these requests in batches, and if your request is accepted, we will send you a certificate/event report in 6–8 weeks.
Keep a copy for your records. You can use this record for certification maintenance purposes.

Option 2: ASHA CEUs/ASHA CE Registry

Best for: Members of the ASHA CE Registry who want ASHA CEUs to appear on your CE transcript

What you’ll get: First, an official certificate of completion showing sessions attended and PDHs earned (from completing option 1), and later, ASHA CEUs appear on your ASHA CE Registry transcript

How to request:

Complete Option 1 above and wait 6–8 weeks to receive your certificate/event report.
Follow the link and instructions that accompany the certificate/event report to complete a Continuing Education Board (CEB) appeal. The CEB decides appeals related to ASHA CEUs and the CE Registry.

Note: You cannot complete the CEB appeal until after you receive the certificate/event report.
