Listed below is the information needed from the participant which will be used by the CE Registry to accurately post credit to their ASHA account. Follow this list to ensure you have all the information:
ASHA number* (strongly recommended)
Our system will automatically add leading zeros to any account number with less than 8 digits.
Last name
First name
Address 1
Address 2 (if applicable)
Address 3 (if applicable)
City
State
ZIP code
Country
Number of ASHA CEUs to be awarded (full credit or partial, as appropriate)
Course offering ID
*If the participant does not have an ASHA account number (ASHA ID), the CE Registry will use their last name, first name, full address, city, state, ZIP code, country, and email to either locate their account or create one.
Once you have collected all the necessary data from the participant, your next step is to enter their information into the Excel format. Use this Excel template [XLS] to report. You can also find the template in the Submit Offering Reporting section of the CE Provider Portal.
Manual entry of the data is an option, but we recommend requiring the participant to enter their information into a registration system when completing the course as part of a sign in/out process. The data the participant provides can then be output to Excel and formatted as required. To ensure timely processing of the reporting, organize the participant’s information in alphabetical order by last name. Additionally, create your own file naming system for all Excel reporting. We suggest your file name consist of your provider code, course ID, and offering ID for quick reference.
Do not edit the column headings (e.g. ASHA ID, First Name, Last Name, etc.). ASHA’s reporting system can only read the file if the headings are the same as what appears in the original template.
Below is an example of a completed Excel file, ready for submission:
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ASHA ID |
Last Name |
First Name |
Address1 | Address2 | Address3 | City | State | ZIP Code | Country | ASHA CEUs | Course and Offering ID | |
12345678 | Smith | Jane | 2200 Research Blvd. | Rockville | MD | 20850 | United States of America | asha@asha.org | 0.6 | 0001-001 | ||
12345678 | Doe | John | 2200 Research Blvd. | Rockville | MD | 20850 | United States of America | asha@asha.org | 0.6 | 0001-001 | ||
12345678 | Johns | Sarah | 2200 Research Blvd. | #306 | Rockville | MD | 20850 | United States of America | asha@asha.org | 0.6 | 0001-001 |
Keep in mind, the number of ASHA CEUs in column L is required for successful submission. All columns, A through K and column M should be filled out to the best of your ability, as shown above. If the participant does not have an ASHA account number (ASHA ID) the CE Registry will use columns B through K to either locate an existing account or create one.
Once the information is entered into the file, double-check it against your own course completion records. If everything looks accurate, save the file to your computer.
Log into your ASHA account on ASHA.org and select My Account at the top right of the main website landing page.
Locate the CE Provider Management subheading. Under that you will see the CE Provider Portal link. Once you select that you will see the links that take you to your dashboard, registration and cancellation system, reporting and rosters system, and custom reports.
