Does SECO Submit my CE hours to my board or licensing entity or do I need to submit my CE hours on my own behalf?

Within 30 days of the event, SECO will process attendance and submit cE hours to the following entities for attendees who included applicable license and account information on their registration record: OD – If OE Tracker or License Number (FL, SC, TX) is on your registration record: SECO will submit your CE hours to ARBO and/or CE Broker (FL, SC, TX) within 30 days of the event. If you are with any other state board or entity, you may use your Verification of Attendance to submit on your own behalf. AHP – If License Number (FL, SC,) or ABO/NCLE ID Number is on your registration record: SECO will submit your CE hours to CE Broker (FL, SC,) and to ABO/NCLE within 30 days of the event. If you are with any other state board or entity, you may use your Verification of Attendance to submit on your own behalf.

For Optometrists, when will the CE credit appear on the attendee's OE Tracker and CE Broker account?

Due to the size of our show, attendance may take up to 8 weeks before it appears on your account. If attendees need CE sooner, they can utilize the self-submit using the provided certificates/VOA.
