In order to register for a webinar, whether live or on-demand, you must first purchase site credits. You'll need 1 site credit for a 1 hour webinar, 1.5 site credits, for a 1.5 hour webinar, and 2 site credits for a 2 hour webinar. You may buy exactly the number of site credits you need to register for a course, or you may opt to take advantage of our discounted bundled rates. The more you buy, the greater the discount.

All live webinars presented before January 1, 2024 expired on May 31, 2024.

All CPEU webinars presented after January 1, 2024 and that are available from the Continuing Education menu are approved by the CDR (Commission on Dietetic Registration). Their expiration date is determined as follows:

• For a live webinar, the webinar expires 1 year from the CDR approval date.
• For an enduring webinar (on-demand recording), the webinar expires 3 years from the CDR approval date.

Check the webinar's detail page for approval dates and expiration dates.

The Transfer feature allows you to transfer any number of site credits from your account to others. For example, if you have purchased 2 site credits and want to give one away, you can use this feature to transfer it to another person. Once the site credit has been transferred successfully, you'll have one site credit left in your account and the recipient of the site credit will have 1 site credit as well. From the standpoint of registering for live or on-demand webinars, there is no difference between site credits that you purchased directly or site credits that you received from others by using the Transfer feature.

Note: site credits are used to register for webinars in this web site. They do not apply to any other form of credit or term used other than as a means to register for and have access to webinars in DietitianCentral.com.

Keep in mind that the more site credits you buy in one transaction, the cheaper the site credits. Buying in bulk and then transferring the site credits allows you to buy at discounted rates. Recipients that receive transferred site credits can use them the same exact way as if they had purchased it themselves.

You can always check the number of siteCredits you have available by going to the Transaction Summary panel from the Continuing Education menu.
