Multiple Attendees/Registering On Behalf of Someone

If purchasing multiple registrations or registering on behalf of someone else, you will be prompted to enter names and emails for each attendee. It is critical that you include the actual attendee's email as this is how they will access the online content. If your school district regularly blocks emails, we highly suggest using a personal email (like Gmail). Again, each attendee's actual email address needs to be entered during registration or they will not be able to access the online conference.

Continuing Education Certificate & Hours

If interested in receiving a certificate for the hours attended upon completing the conference, you will need to mark the appropriate box while completing registration. However, districts and states often have different requirements for hours, and we encourage you to check with your district to ensure this will count towards your professional development hours.

Continuing Education Units

Participants are responsible for applying for CEUs from Fresno Pacific University. Payment is separate from registration to attend the symposium. If you are interested in Continuing Education Units from Fresno Pacific University, please go to:
