Can I get video of a missed teleconference?
Each teleconference is recorded. A video of the workshop (DVD format) is available for purchase from our main RRS office. Please contact Pete Armstrong for more information about ordering a video copy. ( CEUs not available for video)
How do I get my CEUs?
CEUs are recorded through the McKimmon Center’s Office of Professional Development at NCSU. You must sign CEU registration form at the teleconference site. RRS will send a letter to each qualified attendee showing the number of CEU credits earned for that particular teleconference. After the first teleconference in which you request CEUs, a NC State ID# will be assigned to you. That number will be included in the letter sent to you from RRS.
Please contact the main RRS office for questions about or to obtain information on the teleconferences you attended.
If you require an official University transcript listing of all recent teleconferences and the total number of CEUs earned, a record may be obtained 60 days after a program completion date by writing:
