Evaluation

Attendance Codes

An attendance code for each session will be assigned by the CSCC Office. The organizer should contact the CSCC office to receive the Attendance Codes for your sessions at least 3 weeks in advance of the meeting. The organizer then prepares a slide for each code/session which should be displayed at the conference at least once during each session. Each session will have a different code. When the attendee enters the code online, they will have to complete an evaluation form before the credits are awarded.

Participants can then go to the CSCC website to enter their credits and receive a certificate of attendance.

Professional Development Credits

The 'Personal Record of Attendance' form is used by the attendee to keep track of the codes for the sessions they attend and should be handed out to each delegate attending the conference. Fill in the list of presentations in advance along with the category and maximum number of credits for each session. Credits represent educational hours - eg. a 3-hour symposium with a half hour break would have a maximum number of credits of 2.5. The delegate will record the attendance codes as they appear in the session, for later submission of their credit claims. Refer to the CSCC/CACB Professional Development webpage for credit categories. Attach the form.

How Participants Record Credits

Members log in and go to CE Credit Entry under Membership Tools. When they enter the attendance code the session information will come up for verification. When all the attendance codes are entered, the credits are entered directly into the member's PD record. The member may print a certificate if desired.

Non-members will go to Conferences/Events → Non-member Certificates. After entering the attendance codes, the non-member can print a Certificate of Attendance which they can use for their organization.
