- You are responsible for signing in and out of the sessions you attend – no verification forms will be provided.
- Where can I pick up my scantron for DPR CEUs?
- DPR scantrons can be found at the CEU kiosk and should be picked up before the first session of the day (on Wed., Dec. 11). It is your responsibility to complete and turn in your scantron at the end of the day to the CEU kiosk. If you need to leave a session early, you must sign out at the back of the room to adjust your hours. If you do not sign in or out at each of the sessions you attend, you will not get credit.
- There will be three different scantrons, one for each session offering DPR credits, at the CEU kiosk. At the end of the day, or once you’re done attending session, you need to return your scantron to the CEU kiosk or place it at the back of the session room – this is in addition to signing in and out of each session you attend.
- Once you turn in your scantron at the CEU kiosk, you will receive a verification form.
