What else makes us special? >
NEW! We have recently renovated our online system to accommodate our participants. This system has the flexibility to allow all participants to view their registration history, print receipts, register for new courses and print statements of credit all via a secure web site. All that is needed is a valid email address.
Commonly asked questions:
Can I receive continuing education credits for your activities in my state?
The University of Minnesota is an accredited provider for ACPE and all our activities are ACPE approved. Although our activities are generally accepted for continuing education credit in all states, it is ultimately your responsibility to find out whether they will be acceptable for the specific continuing education requirements of your state. If you have questions, please contact your state board.
I’m confused about dates listed for the activities. Can I only register during the listed time?
Yes. It might help to think of our activities as traditional courses that only last a few weeks. You will progress through content at your own pace within some predefined deadlines (e.g. a quiz due date), but each activity has a start and end date, as listed on the description pages.
Participants are encouraged to register two (2) or more weeks prior to the start date. This provides us with sufficient time to obtain and add logins, set up the listserv, direct participants to additional materials, etc. Registrations received one week prior to the start date are considered late registrations. Please call to register. A late fee of $50 USD will apply to the full course tuition after this time. Although not optimal, we will take registrations through the first two days of the activity.
If the offering dates aren't convenient, you can sign up for an email reminder for the next offering.
Is there a way that I can get my employer to pay for my CE?
Possibly. Many employers offer partial or complete reimbursement to staff who are enrolled in continuing pharmacy education activities. For complete details, visit our Employer Reimbursement page.
Can I receive academic credit for any activities?
At this time we do not offer academic credit for our activities.
I don’t feel comfortable using my credit card online. Can I still register?
Yes! You will need to complete the online registration and upon checkout you will receive an invoice which you will need to print and mail along with your payment to our office. Note: You are not registered until participant information and payment are received in our office.
I submitted my registration online, and haven’t received any information about how to access the course. When will I get this information?
If you submitted payment online using a credit card, you will receive a confirmation email telling you that your payment was successfully received. If you haven’t received this email, you may need to change your email settings and/or filters to allow emails from onlinece@umn.edu. You will hear from us next via that email address about one week before the activity begins. This email will contain login information.
What is your cancellation or refund policy?
- Cancellations must be received in writing 72 hours prior to start of activity, and 50% of tuition will be refunded within 30 days of receipt of request. Registrations may be transferred to another participant. Requests can be emailed to onlinece@umn.edu
- Withdrawing from the activity once it has started will forfeit all tuition paid. A participant may chose to complete at a later date if desired. Please see the Carry Forward policy.
I’m not very computer savvy and I’m concerned about taking an online activity.
Don’t worry! Our courses only require participants to have basic Internet and email skills. If you are comfortable sending and receiving emails, and understand how to access a web page (or specific URL), you should be fine.
