Course Reviewer’s Corner
by Michael F. Tamara, Assoc. AIA
What Providers Should Know About Changes in Member Self-Report Policy
I hope all of you are enjoying a happy and productive New Year thus far. We’re certainly off to a rolling start here at AIA!
In 2011, as you may already know, the AIA adopted a new policy for member self-reporting of credits. The biggest change, set to take effect on February 1, 2012, is that members will now only be able to self-report basic LU credits to their transcripts. Consequently, HSW and SD credit will have to be achieved solely through an AIA CES approved Provider from this point forward.
This change allows for greater quality assurance in the continuing education our members are receiving, since every HSW and SD credit will now have already been reviewed and approved by us before even being offered to the members. The biggest practical effect this has on Providers is that timely reporting of attendance is now all the more important. Why?
