A maximum allowance of 15 minutes late is permitted.

GVRRID will not award partial CEUs.

​

HOW TO GET YOUR CEUs

GVR uses an online system to collect your workshop feedback, and your personal information for CEUs and certificates of attendance. This system can be found at www.gvrrid.org/workshop-evaluation. Select the workshop you attended and fill out the forms. To get your CEUs, you must fill out the forms within 48 hours of the workshop. After that time, participants will be unable to get CEUs, but can still ask for a certificate of attendance from the CMP Coordinator (see below for contact information). If you discover any technical issues with the online system, please notify the CMP Coordinator ASAP. You can contact the CMP Coordinator by emailing cmp@gvrrid.org.
