Excerpted from the Winter 2004 PARID Newsletter:
I want to stress the importance of one concept as related to the CMP process: promptness. The key to having your CEU activities approved and processed is to have your paperwork into the CMP Coordinator (that’s me!) ON TIME! In fact, the earlier you can get information and forms to me, the better and smoother the process will be. If paperwork is not submitted before the R.I.D. stated deadlines, then it cannot be processed and you will miss out on CEU opportunities.
EARNING CEUs: There are several ways to earn CEUs!
* Attending a Sponsor Initiated Event. The paperwork is already done for you in this case. Simply attend the event, sign in on the scantron sheet with your R.I.D. number, and enjoy the activity. Make sure to check the informational / promotional flyer for the R.I.D. CMP/ACET logos. If your group would like to sponsor an event for CEUs, please contact me right away. You will need to fill out some forms (Sponsor Form and Instructor Form) and return them to me. After the event is approved for CEUs, your informational flyer can include the CMP/ ACET logos. Paperwork must be filed at least 45 days before the event.
*Apply for a Participant Initiated Non-RID Activity (better known as a PINRA). A PINRA form is due at least two weeks before the start of the activity. Contact the CMP Coordinator for this form.
*Take a course and apply for CEUs with Academic Coursework. Coursework can earn CEUs only if it was taken during your current CMP cycle. A copy of the transcript and the Academic Coursework form needs be sent to the CMP Coordinator and will then be processed. *Please note, that at this time, PARID is NOT an Independent Study Sponsor. Check the R.I.D. website or Views for a list of approved Sponsors.
I look forward to serving you as the CMP Coordinator for PARID. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. I would also encourage you to check out R.I.D. Affiliate Chapter Handbook, Section 3, “RID CMP & ACET: Loving Lifelong Learning”, on the R.I.D. website (www.rid.org) for more detailed information.
