Continuing Education Credits
Continuing Education Credits
CNU 18 will offer continuing education credits for the following professions, for many of the sessions included in the conference program:
* Architects (thru the American Institute of Architects (AIA))
* Planners (AICP only thru the American Planner Association (APA))
* Landscape Architects (thru the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA))
The AIA and APA determine the eligibility of our congress program for credits and require that sessions be finalized before we can apply for credit for them. Given that fact, we will likely not know what sessions will be eligible for accreditation until February 2010, at the earliest.
Many of the breakouts and plenary sessions for CNU 17 were approved for AIA and AICP accreditation.
We will make every effort to secure accreditation as early as possible, and then provide information to participants about which session qualify as quickly as we can. Thank you in advance for your patience.
AICP Certification Maintenance (CM) credits
CNU is an official certified AICP CM provider. The list of sessions and the number of credit associated with each session will be posted on this page as soon as the APA approves them. Last year at CNU 17 in Denver, APA approved 229 credits (View the CNU 17 Continuing Education Credits List (PDF)).
To claim your credits, Self-report your credits on the APA website just as you usually do.
ASLA Continuing Education Credits
This year again, most landscape architects will be able to acquire CEC at the Congress. You will need to self-report your attendance to your state. Most states accept the self-reporting system however a few (such as Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania) might not. Most states will require a certificate of attendance listing the sessions attended and the number of credits attributed.
Self-report your credits as you usually do. To receive a certificate of completion, please fill out the ASLA Certificate of Completion Request form by June 14, 2010. A certificate will be mailed to you the week of June 21, 2010.
AIA Continuing Education Units
CNU is registered with the American Institute of Architects' Continuing Education System (AIA/CES) to provide learning units at a ratio of one credit per hour of instruction. Most sessions receives AIA credits, some qualifying for Health, Safety & Welfare credits to architects. Last year at CNU 17 in Denver, AIA approved 94.75 credits (View the CNU 17 Continuing Education Credits List (PDF)).
The AIA Continuing Education Systems Committee has implemented new procedures for registering and reporting credit for conference sessions. At each session where a credit is offered, the attendees seeking the credits are required to fill out the session's sign-up sheet providing their complete name and AIA number. Attendees are required to attend the session for which they are seeking the credit. CNU will then report the attendance lists to the AIA for credit allocation. CNU is required to report to the AIA within 2 weeks of the end of the conference.
To claim your credits, you are required to sign your name and enter your AIA number at each session you attended to prove your attendance. All the forms are sent to the AIA within 2 weeks of the congress. You should see the sessions you attended credited on your account within 2-3 weeks. Should you need a certificate of completion, you will be ask to fill out an AIA Certificate of Completion Request form. A certificate will be mailed to you the week of June 21, 2010. We unfortunately cannot send you a certificate if you did not sign the relevant session attendance list.
If you have questions about AIA CES credits, please consult AIA's FAQ.
AIA Certificate of Completion
Architects who are not AIA members can receive a certificate of completion for the sessions you attend which receive AIA credits to submit to their states of registration. In order to receive a certificate, you will need to fill out an online request form by June 14, 2010. The online request form will be available on this website after the Congress.
