Other Approved CE Opportunities | Research Compliance & Reporting

CE REQUEST FORM

Select events not managed by OERAF are reviewed in advance and preapproved for CE credit. These are normally internal or external events where OERAF does not manage or have access to attendance records. The most common opportunities are sponsoring agency events, workshops from professional organizations, or other internal Duke events not sponsored by OERAF but applicable to research administration.

Preapproved events are advertised to the research administration community in the Research Insider newsletter and myRESEARCHpath Updates.

CE Confirmation Process

Identify if the event is preapproved.
Attend the event. You're expected to attend the full event or full sessions within a larger event to receive credit.
Collect required documentation for CE.
- Attendance documentation confirming you participated (e.g. completion certificate, screenshots, materials provided).
  - Registration is not proof of attendance.
  - OERAF will accept confirmation from your supervisor that you attended the session if no confirmation is provided by the event organizer.
- Supervisor email confirmation that you attended will be accepted if the event did not provide confirmation of full attendance.
Use the "Preapproved Events" option on the CE Request Form and submit by the CE DEADLINE. Deadlines for each event are listed above.
CE is loaded into the LMS after the CE DEADLINE. The form allows us to compile the roster of applicants to add to the LMS.

► CE in excess of the Category Totals or the annual amount required for the year will not be added to the LMS.
