PDH, CM, and LU Continuing Education Credits/Hours

As a registered/approved continuing education provider through RCEP, APA, and AIA, ACC manages the reporting of Symposium attendance for eligible attendees to tentatively earn 10 PDH, CM, or LU/HSW credits/hours March 12–13 and 2.5 additional credits with attendance on March 14, 2025. The submissions for credit hours are under review, currently, and are subject to change. We will update all communications as approval is received.

Attendees Are Responsible for Earning Their Credits/Hours

While ACC reports credits/hours for eligible attendees, it is the sole responsibility of the attendee to meet the criteria to earn credits/hours – and by the outlined deadlines. It is not the responsibility of ACC to send accreditation reminders, notify attendees that they did not meet the requirements, or accommodate individuals who fail to meet the outlined deadlines to earn credits/hours.

Attendees are responsible for ensuring their earned credits/hours have been reported by ACC by April 11, 2025.

To earn 10 PDH, CM, or LU/HSW credits/hours, and the additional 2.5 credits offer March 14, 2025, participants are required to both meet – and complete – the following accreditation criteria by the deadline of March 28, 2025.

  • Be a paid registrant for the entire three-day 2025 Symposium;

  • Attend both plenary sessions on March 12 and 13; one workshop session during each of the five concurrent workshop sessions on March 12 and 13; and attend the two sessions offered on March 14*.

  • Complete and submit no later than March 28, 2025 both the attendance verification and evaluation survey that will be emailed by ACC to all attendees on March 17, 2025.

*The two sessions hosted on March 14, 2025 will offer 1.25 credits each requiring their own surveys to be completed.

Partial and/or late credits/hours for the 2025 Symposium will not be awarded for any reason.

Email Delivery to Attendees of Required Attendance Verification and Evaluation Survey

Surveys will be emailed by ACC to attendees on Monday, March 17, 2024. Within the email, links will be included to access both the attendance survey and the evaluation survey. Both must be completed and submitted by the deadline of March 28, 2024. Late surveys will not be accepted.

Attendees are responsible for timely reaching out to ACC at training@acconline.org if the survey email is not received, as it may be directed by their company firewalls to spam/junk email inboxes. ACC is not responsible for surveys not received by participants or for delays in communications sent to AAAE vs. ACC as the continuing education provider. ACC is not responsible for sending reminders for completion to attendees.

Receiving PDH Credits/Certificate of Completion

ACC reports attendance for PDH credits for eligible participants directly to RCEP.net the week of April 11, 2025. Participants will receive an automated email directly from RCEP/ACEC with notification of reporting of attendance/PDH credits by ACC. Participants can then log in to their RCEP account and download/print a copy of their certificate of completion. If the participant does not have an existing account with RCEP, one is automatically created for them when ACC reports Symposium attendance. The automated email sent to the participant from RCEP will include details on how to log in to their new account, along with a temporary account password.

PLEASE NOTE: ACC does not have access to the RCEP account of any participant, nor information on account passwords. Participants will need to contact RCEP directly at (202) 347-7474 for assistance, or can visit RCEP.net, enter their work email address in the log in, and click “Forgot Password.”

No individual may report earned PDH credits to state licensing boards for the 2025 Symposium that have not been reported to RCEP by ACC. If this happens, ACC will contact the state licensing board and contest the earning of the PDH credits.

Participants Must Self-Report CM Credits to APA

Attendees holding the AICP professional designation must self-report their eligible CM credits to the American Planning Association (APA) for participating in the 2025 Symposium. The APA course number for the Symposium is TBD.

Receiving LU Hours

ACC reports attendance and LU/HSW hours for eligible AIA members directly to AIA CES Course #2025ACCSYMP within ten (10) business days of the conclusion of the 2025 Symposium. AIA certificates of completion are available upon request by eligible attendees through April 11, 2025 by contacting training@acconline.org.

Direct Accreditation Questions to ACC

Please direct any questions related to PDH, CM, or LU accreditation credits/hours for the 2024 Symposium to ACC at training@acconline.org, as these credits/hours are not available through AAAE.
