Seminar Policies

Verification of Attendance

Live Events: MSATP will send an email to you upon receipt of your registration(s). Upon arriving at the seminar, you will receive a seminar guide and course material. The guide has a perforated name badge in the upper left corner that you will remove and sign on the back after you are scanned in by a volunteer at the registration desk.

Your certificate of completion is available online within your profile and can be downloaded 5 business days after the conclusion of the seminar. If you arrive late, leave early, or do not scan in at the designated times, you will see an adjustment of your credit hours.

Group Internet: The attendee must be logged into the course the entire time of the seminar as well as answer at least 75% of the polling questions. The polling questions will appear approximately every 15 minutes during the presentation. Any attendee, who is not logged in and does not answer at least 75% of the polling questions, will see an adjustment on their certificate of completion.
