Continuing Education Credit

Earn continuing education credit toward maintenance of your state license (where mandated) by attending education sessions in Minneapolis. With up to eight topics to choose from in most time slots and presentations being made by leading experts in the profession, you will find plenty of choices that meet your licensure requirements and your practice needs.

ASLA will use an electronic tracking system for education sessions to provide attendance verification for credits. Session monitors will scan attendees’ name badges outside education session rooms. To maintain the integrity of the system, badges will only be scanned for the first 10 minutes of each session. A record of attended sessions will be mailed after the annual meeting to attendees participating in this system. Attendees may use this record as part of the information they submit to state boards to satisfy reporting requirements. ASLA is applying to have many of the educational sessions approved by the Florida Board of Landscape Architecture. Attendees licensed in Florida must include their Florida license number on the registration form so that ASLA can submit attendance records to Florida.

In addition to taking advantage of the education sessions, attendees may earn continuing education credit by attending the EXPO or by participating in Annual Meeting tours. Depending on state regulations for reporting attendance at these events, you will want to keep track of the sessions you attend as well as handouts and your registration confirmation (for example, for an event such as a tour).

Currently, the following state boards either require continuing education for licensed landscape architects:

State boards have varying requirements with regard to session attendance documentation as well as how many Continuing Education Credits may be acquired at the ASLA Annual Meeting. States also may limit the subject matter that will qualify for Continuing Education Credits. Contact your state board for more information.
