Continuing Education

You register online at socialwork.rutgers.edu/ce 

You can mail a registration form with a purchase order or check. You can also select the “purchase order” option when registering online and send the purchase order by mail or fax. Please make sure the participant’s name is indicated on the purchase order and/or check. If your employer would like to register an employee using a Visa or MasterCard, we can take your information over the phone. Please remember, registration needs to be submitted under the name of the person attending the workshop.

Confirmation e-mails are usually sent right after mailed registrations are processed and a week before the webinar date for registrations made online.

You must register for a webinar no later than 30 minutes before the start time to ensure you receive the login information.

Check our website and search the webinar by title or number.

We will contact participants via e-mail if we must cancel an event due to low enrollment, emergencies, or inclement weather. You can choose to receive a coupon or a full refund for cancelled workshops.

You must notify us before the event date. You can request a coupon valid for one year that can be applied towards another webinar OR a refund less a $10 cancellation fee. Coupons cannot be exchanged for a refund. If you do not show up on the webinar day without informing us, no restitution will be made. All refund requests must be made within 30 days of the event. When a webinar or event is cancelled due to weather or insufficient enrollment no penalties apply.

It is acceptable if you are 15 to 20 minutes late for an event or webinar. If, for any reason, you miss more than 20 minutes, you cannot receive CE hours. If you miss more than 20 minutes of an event, please contact the Office of Continuing Education to discuss your options. Our office is open M-F 8:30 am - 4:40 pm ET or you may email us. 

Please note, we do not issue certificates with partial CE hours. 

For in-person events, the instructor is directed to not allow participants to attend who are later than 20 minutes. If you need to leave a little earlier (20 minutes or less), please let the instructor know in the morning so arrangements can be made. 

For webinars, the timed Zoom attendance record must show you have missed no more than 20 minutes of the webinar to receive CE hours.

Credit card purchases will be refunded to the same card originally used within a couple of days of your request (less any cancellation fees due). If you paid by check, you will receive a refund check in the mail (please note this process involves different departments at Rutgers and the processing time is around three to four weeks). Refund requests must be made within 30 days of the event.

There is great variability in how these terms are used state-by-state and across professions. In our CE program, we use the term CE Hours to indicate the actual clock hours or “seat time” of the events offer.

Yes, unless otherwise noted. We are an approved provider for CEUs in NY. 

Yes! This website lists a series of one-hour and two-hour asynchronous online workshops.

There is no application to our certificate programs and no deadline for completing them. Certificate programs are self-paced; once you complete the required and elective webinars, you earn your certificate (listed on page 7).  Once you have attended all of the webinars, please notify our office and we will send you the final certificate.  You can track your certificate progress on our website with the “Certificate Advisor” link. Please note that required certificate workshops are typically offered over the span of a calendar year.

Replacement certificates can be emailed upon request. There is a $10.00 processing fee to print and mail a paper certificate.
