My Progress
The "My Progress" page, on the blue box located at the top right of each page, is an online record of your continuing education activities. This page displays each major section of the site, the status, and the date it was completed. From this page, you can also print your certificate at any time. You must complete an entire Course to earn credits. You must pass each Posttest with a score of 70% or better and complete the Course Evaluation.
Accessing Content
Each Course includes modules. You must complete the modules in sequential order.
If you attempt to jump ahead to a different module without completing a required task, you will receive a message that tells you the section that you must complete before moving forward.
Automatic Log-Out
If you are participating in this course and you leave your computer idle for 60 minutes or more, the system will automatically end your session by logging you out. If this happens while you are filling out a form or answering a test, you will lose your answers and the system will prompt you to log-in again. This time limit is imposed to prevent someone else from clicking or submitting something to an 'open Web session' if you step away from your computer.
Updating Your Profile
If you need to update information on the Registration form, begin by logging onto the site with your user name and password. On the blue box located at the top right of each page, click on "Update Profile." You will see the original Registration form previously submitted. Begin updating your information and be sure to hit 'Submit' at the bottom of the page. Your password can also be updated by using this form.
