External education learning opportunities for members

GCSAA is committed to helping its members find quality education that is affordable, accessible and attainable.

Obtaining approval after attending a program
Have you attended an educational program that you believe should qualify for education points? If so, you, as a member, have up to 30 days after the event to apply for those education points. Complete the member application for education points.

How do you know if your program was preapproved?
At the end of the program, you should receive an approval code for the program. This approval code is used on the education point affidavit that must be submitted to GCSAA within 30 days of the event. If you did not receive this code, your program was not preapproved. To get the education points for attending, you will need to complete the member application for education points.
