CPE Instructions

On October 20, 2023, NACUBO transitioned to a new learning management system and updated the steps to earn CPE credit during live online events.

Please review the instructions below and email online@nacubo.org with questions prior to attending an online event.

Zoom

Online events are held in Zoom. If you don’t have Zoom downloaded on your device, you can download Zoom here. You do not need to create a Zoom account to attend.

If attending for CPE credit, we suggest using Zoom on a computer, rather than a phone or tablet.

Find and Join the Online Event

To join the Zoom room, you will first navigate to the page for that event in the Online Learning Center. There are several ways to locate the page for your event:

Once you are on the page for that event, you will:

(1) Select the title of the event under the Content tab.

(2) Click the Enter Webinar or Enter Session button. This button will become available 15 minutes prior to the start time.

(3) Click Open Link if prompted by your browser.

Earn CPE Credit

You must attend an online event live through your NACUBO account to earn credit. CPE credit cannot be earned for watching the recording or attending live through a colleague's account.

After you have attended the online event, the following three steps for CPE credit will become available. All CPE steps are completed under the Content tab on the same page you used to join the live event (refer to the Find and Join Online Event section above).

You have until 5 pm ET on the following business day after the event to complete these steps or report a technical issue with our site to online@nacubo.org. Review the "CPE Info" tab on the event page to confirm the CPE deadline for that event.

Step 1: Pass the CPE Codeword Quiz

Throughout the event, a moderator will post codewords in the Zoom chat at random times. Each codeword will be displayed for five minutes and then removed.

Keep the chat open throughout the event and write down these codewords for later use. To open the chat in Zoom, click the Chat icon at the bottom of the Zoom window.

After the event has ended, you will take the CPE codeword quiz. To complete the quiz, you will:

(1) Select CPE Codeword Quiz, under the Earn CPE Credit heading.

(2) Review the requirements for passing. You can miss up to two codewords and still earn credit for the event. You have one attempt to pass the quiz.

(3) Click the Take Quiz button.
