Continuing Education

We are excited that you’ve chosen to attend the 2021 Virtual Symposium for Research Administrators on November 17th, 2021. Continuing education will be available for this year’s symposium. Read on to learn more.

  • So how is credit assigned? The Office of Education for Research Administration and Finance (OERAF) will monitor and record your attendance in all sessions and will assign credit based upon the length of time that you were engaged.
  • Participants must be logged in via a computer or app on a mobile device to earn credit for their attendance in the session. Dialing in via phone where visual images are unavailable will not qualify for continuing education credit. Using a phone for the audio portion is allowed when paired with logging in via a computer or mobile device.
  • Continuing education credit will be issued in increments of 0.5 hours up to 5.5 hours for the entire day. If you can only join us for part of the event, OERAF will capture the amount of time you attend. Prior notification is not needed.
  • OERAF will load credit into the RCC Training Tracker after the symposium. Please note that credits may take up to three weeks to appear in the Training Tracker due to the high volume of attendance.
  • OERAF will send an email to the community once credits are available in the RCC Training Tracker. If, after three weeks, your credits do not appear, please contact OERAF.
  • Session recordings will be available for viewing after the event; however, continuing education credit will not be available to those who watch the recorded sessions.

Symposium credits (5.5 credits maximum) can be counted toward maintaining your existing RAA, AGM, RAI, FCC, and RCC certifications for the FY22 certification year. They do not count towards the RAI-LS requirement. To learn more, please refer here: Continuing Education
