Submit Activity
- Click on the Create Activityoption in the box on the left of the screen.
- Enter the following information:
- Activity Name: This may be a course name or whatever you want to call it.
- Activity Dates: This should reflect the date your activity started and was completed.
- Select Plan/Certification: All options should be checked.
- Verification Method: Make the appropriate choice.
- Provider: Who provided the training, classes, etc?
- Approving Supervisor: This should be set to none.
- Credit Hour Fields: Enter your hours in the appropriate option.
- Description: Provide a brief description of the course. A couple of sentences are plenty. This section should tell about what topics were covered in the activity.
- Activity Focus: Answer the question in a few sentences. This section should relate how you will apply this activity to your position.
- Click Create Activity Request. At this time you can still edit your activity information. If you are ready to submit the activity to LPDC, then you will continue to the next step.
- Click Submit Activity for Final Approval and send paperwork verification to the LPDC committee for review.
Completing the process requires that paper verification be sent to the LPDC. This might be a transcript, grade card, or any other official paperwork that lists dates and hours of the activity. Once the committee has looked at your activity the paperwork will be returned to you.
Remember, it is unnecessary to enter all of your coursework into the online manager. Once you have 6 semester hours (or its equivalents) approved, the LPDC have enough hours to signoff on a license renewal. This is not to say that you must stop taking professional development, but the further entering of activities is not needed.
