4 Continuing Education Credits

This program offers CE credits. Please check the program description to confirm license applicability as not all programs offer CE credits for every license. For full provider information, please see our Continuing Education Credit information page: www.spiritrock.org/continuing-education-credit.

Attendance will be tracked automatically and verified as follows:

Live online programs

Sign into Zoom with the same email used to register for the program, before joining the program, to enable proper attendance tracking.

Join the program by a web browser or Zoom App, not dialing in by phone, within the first 15 minutes of the start of the program.

Stay logged in and engaged for the duration of the program.

Non-residential in-person programs

Check in at the CEC table within 15 minutes of the start of the program, each day if multiple days.

Check out at the CEC table at the end of the program, each day if multiple days.

Residential in-person programs

Check in for CEC instructions in the Council House at the beginning of the retreat, during the regular check-in period.

Check in at the CEC table, in the retreat hall foyer, within 5 minutes of the start of each required session. A list of required sessions will be posted with the retreat schedule and available at retreat check-in in the Council House.

Self-paced home study courses

Complete all sections of the course and all assessments.

Attendance is demonstrated through a comprehensive assessment at the end of the course, with a passing criterion of at least 75%. The assessment may be repeated if necessary.

All CEC participants

Complete the online CEC evaluation (different from the course survey) within 1 week of receiving the access link. The access link for the CEC evaluation will be emailed within 1 week of the end of the program to all CEC participants who attended the program in full.

Certificates of attendance will be emailed to those who complete the attendance requirements and submit the CEC evaluation within the stated time frame. Only digital certificates are available.

Important Policy Notes

For live programs, CEC registration closes at 4:30 p.m. the business day before the program begins.

For online programs, it is the responsibility of the participant to ensure adequate internet reliability and bandwidth for online programs.

Incomplete attendance nullifies CEC eligibility as board regulations prohibit partial credit for partial attendance. Participants cannot join a program late, have gaps in attendance, or leave early and be given “partial credit” for the hours that they were present. CEC certificates are available only for those who complete the attendance requirements, without exception, to prevent risking our provider licenses and future CEC programs.

CEC participants with incomplete attendance will not be emailed the CEC evaluation, nor notified of incomplete attendance record. If a participant does not receive the CEC evaluation within one week of the program, it is the participant's responsibility to contact Spirit Rock within one week of the end of the program if they believe their incomplete attendance record is inaccurate. CEC records are closed two weeks after the program is completed.

There is a $20 fee to reissue CE certificates, and certificates are available only if the attendance requirements were met.

The CEC fee is non-refundable once a program begins, including for incomplete, or lack of attendance.
