A: No. Anyone is welcome to register/attend Academy-related courses held at ACCP meetings.

Q: Do I have to pay a separate fee to attend an Academy-related course that is being held as a premeeting symposium?
A: Yes. Premeeting symposia (held prior to an ACCP meeting) are not included with full or one-day meeting registrations.

Q: How do I get credit for attending an Academy-related course?
A: You will be asked to sign an attendance sheet on-site, which will be used to verify your participation in the course.

Q: Can I receive credit for elective courses taken prior to my enrollment in the Academy certificate program?
A: Yes. Elective courses attended prior to your Academy enrollment will be counted towards your certificate.

Q: How do I find out how many credits I have towards my Academy certificate?
A: E-mail Kathy Lemons at klemons@accp.com.

Q: Can I receive credit for a required course if I have not first taken the prerequisite course for the certificate program?

Q: Do I have to take the required courses in sequential order?
A: It is strongly recommended that required courses be taken in the correct sequence to ensure coherence of the curriculum and maximum professional development.
