Adding a Self Report Credit
Self Report Credits allow Individuals to report credits that are not directly related to Association events or products in NetForum. Self Report Credits are maintained in a separate area from CEU Credits and NetForum enables you to validate if the Individual will receive credit for the Self Reported CEU or not. Self Report Credit is available through iWeb and eWeb.
To add a Self Report Credit, complete the following steps:
- Expand the Module Menu and click the CEU hyperlink. This will open the CEU Module.
- Click the Self Report Credit group item to view the list of available group item links.
- Click the Add Self Report Credit hyperlink. The Add - Self Report Credit page appears.

Tips:
- If CEU credits are submitted for sessions with overlapping times, they will be invalidated. Users can also not claim the same credit more than once.
- You may also add a Self Report Credit directly from the Certificant Profile who has reported the credit if you prefer. This is accomplished by clicking the Certification Programs Tab and then clicking the Add icon on the Self Report Credit child form. For more information on this, view the Certificant help topic on the Self Report Credit Child Form.
