CR will not be responsible for keeping/retrieving partial CEU reporting forms or CEU Reporting Forms submitted throughout the year unless specifically requested by CR.
Please note that CR no longer requires certified individuals to submit copies of CEU certificates. Please retain all CEU documentation for your records, as CR will be randomly auditing certified individuals to maintain the integrity of the certifications.
