CAE Renewal
CAE's due to renew in 2023 must do so by December 31. The online CAE renewal portal automatically syncs with ASAE’s AMS, making the process easier. Those renewing are required to fulfill one of their 40 credits with an ethics-focused credit.
Tracking Your CAE Credit Hours
VSAE members can view and print a record of CAE-eligible events that they have attended from January 2020 to present. To access your registration record, follow these steps:
- Log in at vsae.org.
- Click on the "Mbr Center-My VSAE" blue menu tab.
- Click on "CEU Tracking".
- Your current CAE credit hours will appear. You can filter by date range, category, etc.
- In the upper right corner is a button to Export a pdf.
If you need information prior to January 2020, a record of all events for which you have registered since 2015 is in your profile under "Forms I've Taken". You are responsible for verifying that you attended these events. Please allow 1-2 weeks after an event for CEU credits to be processed.
For non-members, VSAE also produces a yearly checklist of all events that qualify for CAE credit. Print a copy of the checklist and mark those events you attended to calculate your CAE hours for application or renewal.
