You will need:

• A computer with a high-speed internet connection and sound capability

• A supported web browser - Chrome is recommended, Firefox and Edge are also supported, but Safari is not supported.

For full details, see the Canvas Instructure LMS requirements.

The courses vary in length. For each CE awarded, there are approximately 50 minutes of instructional (video) content.

For example, a course worth 2 CEs is about 100 minutes long. You can find the number of CEs listed with each course.

Canvas for CE courses

Most CE courses include 60 days of access, though some courses include 90 days.

• Check the access period listed on each course enrollment page before enrolling.
• The access period begins immediately at the date and time of enrollment.

If your course expires before you finish it, you will need to repurchase the course. Florida Tech does not offer extensions beyond the expiration date.

Email us at ceu@fit.edu for assistance with repurchasing the course.

After completing the entire course, submit the Completion Survey at the end of the course. This automatically generates your certificate of completion, which will be emailed to you.

You can also view and download your certificates for completed courses in Canvas.

Submit your certificate of completion to the BACB to document the credits earned and classify it as an ACE event.

Florida Tech CE courses are considered ACE events by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. They are not didactic university courses or synchronous classroom courses and do not have a formal syllabus.

Check the enrollment page for the type and number of CEs for the course.

The ACE provider number appears in the bottom left corner of your certificate of completion.  Remember that you must submit the end-of-course Completion Survey before the certificate is generated.
