    • Directions will be included in your conference packet, which will give you specific steps to follow if you are receiving PLU credit through NE GA RESA.
    • At the end of the conference you will sign and date the form and remove the bottom copy for your personal use. The other two copies will be placed in the box labeled either CEU or PLU and will be filed with the granting agency either NE GA RESA for PLU’s or ASCA for CEU’s.
  • If you are filing for PLU credits it is your responsibility to follow the directions in your packet for signing up on line with NE GA RESA. Transcripts will be provided from NE GA RESA, not GSCA. If you are filing for CEU credits, no further action is required.

It is important to note that ASCA is granting 18.75 hours for CEU credits for attending all events and sessions while NE GA RESA is granting 20 hours for PLU credits.
