Registration cancellations are subject to a $20 processing fee. All qualifying refunds will be settled no later than 30 days after the conference.
Continuing Education/Professional Development Credit:
CSC offers both Continuing Education Credits(CEU) and Graduate Credit Hours. Both options are through Adams State University for a nominal fee.
You will start your journey before the conference event begins by registering for your preferred option through the ASU registration link that will be live on the CSC website by the middle of August. If you are unable to register before the conference, come straight to the CrEDit Table in the Hydro Lobby and we can help you get started.
For CEUs, you will document your attendance by scanning the QR codes for five exhibitors and at least three presenters. You will then register for the CEU option via the Adams State University portal link that will be available the day of the conference. Based on 2025 prices, the cost of CEU will be approximately fifteen dollars.
For Graduate Credit Hours, you will follow the exact same process as the CEUs, but you will be required to write a 500 word essay explaining what you learned from a presenter and what you will implement in your classroom due approximately a month after the conference. You will also register for the Graduate Credit Hours option through the Adams State Portal that will be available the day of the conference. Based on 2025 prices, the cost of the Graduate Hours will be approximately fifty-five dollars for 0.5 graduate hour.
For both CEU and Graduate Credit participants, completion will be recorded as pass/fail by the conference coordinator and submitted to Adams State University for official processing. Once finalized, participants will receive official documentation and may request an official transcript through Parchment.
