ASHA CE Registry Please remember that the ASHA CEU Registry will no longer use the SSN as the identification number for CE Registry accounts effective January 1, 2010. ASHA account numbers will now be used exclusively as a means of identification of our Registry users.
We urge all CE Registry users to carry their account numbers with them to use when completing the CE Registry Participant form. Please see the helpful tips listed below to help you remember your account number. We ask that you fill in the required information, including your ASHA number, completely and legibly. If you do not have your ASHA account number while filling out a form, you may call ASHA's Action Center at 800.498.2071 during normal business hours (M-F, 8:30 - 5:00 p.m. EST) to obtain your number. Please DO NOT write your SSN on the form.

Earning Continuing Maintenance Hours (CMHs)
One easy way to earn CMHs is to attend the upcoming ASHA Annual Convention in Orlando. The ASHA Convention is one of your best opportunities to earn continuing education credit to maintain your CCC and state license.
Here are a few other easy ways to earn CMHs:
- successfully complete self-studies offered through ASHA's Special Interest Groups' Perspectives
- subscribe to various ASHA continuing education activities
- participate in employer-sponsored in-service activities
- complete college or university course work
Subscribing to the ASHA CE Registry is easy, too. The Registry helps annual subscribers track and document ASHA CEUs earned, and it will automatically notify ASHA Certification Maintenance on your behalf once 30 CMHs (3 ASHA CEUs) have been accumulated during your maintenance interval.
Don't wait—submit your Compliance Form as soon as you've completed the 30 CMHs.
As always, we are available to help. If you have any questions about the certification maintenance requirements, please contact the ASHA Action Center at 800-498-2071 and ask to be connected to your certification manager or send an e-mail to certificationmaintenance@asha.org.
