What’s an online continuing education course?
The School of Psychology & Counseling’s Continuing Education
Initiative brings cutting edge discussions and lectures by preeminent
mental health educator and clinicians on topics related to cultural
diversity, professionalism and ethics, clinical practice, spiritual
integration, and many more. Continuing education credit is provided
to you upon completion of the course. CE hours vary based on
the length and content of the course.
How long do I have to take the course?
Upon registration, you have 30 days to complete the course. SPC
continuing education courses were designed to comfortably fit within
this timeframe. Given that individuals have busy schedules and
may not be able to complete the course in one sitting, you can
use your username and password to return to course at any time
within the 30 day period.
How much do your courses cost?
The cost for SPC continuing education courses is very competitive
and cost-effective. Fees for CE courses vary based on length and
content of the course, which will also determine the number of credit hours a participant will earn.
How do I pay for the online course?
The payment of CE courses is simple and takes just a few moments.
Once you have completed the CE Registration Form, and created a
username and password, you will be directed to the CE Payment Page.
These locations are secure and the information you provide is safe.
You will asked to provide a credit card number and expiration date.
Once the payment has been approved you will be directed to the
course you selected.
Do your continuing education courses count towards fulfilling
my license requirements?
