CE Sessions
APA 2026 offers more than 200 CE Sessions happening live at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. As an APA 2026 All Access, in-person attendee, you are automatically eligible to earn CE credits from these sessions, with no extra fee. Simply attend CE Sessions in-person and complete the post-session evaluation to earn your credit.
In addition to the more than 200 CE Sessions offered in person, you can earn CE credits by watching eligible Main and Feature Stage sessions on demand, starting in September. Credits for on-demand CE Sessions are included in your convention registration fee.
CE Sessions are targeted to professional psychologists obtaining CE credit for their respective licensing board. CE credits do not apply as school credits.
How to Attend a CE Session and Claim Credit
You can claim CE credit online or using the APA 2026 mobile app. You will not receive a hardcopy evaluation or CE certificate. Please claim credit by following the steps below.
- Scan the QR code on the front of your badge when you enter the CE Session room.
- Attend the entire session. Partial credit is not awarded.
- Scan the QR code on the front of your badge when you exit the session room. You must attend the entire session to receive CE credit.
- Login to either the APA 2026 mobile app (to be released this summer) or the Claim CE Credit website (which will open in the days prior to the convention).
- Before your first evaluation, select whether you want an APA CE Certificate or APA New York CE Certificate.
- Complete the CE Evaluation for each session that you fully attended.
- Download or email yourself your CE Certificate.
Deadline to Claim CE Credit: October 1, 2026.
CE Sessions are first-come, first-served and rooms may fill up, so, arrive early! If you attend back-to-back CE Sessions in the same room, be sure to exit and re-enter to re-scan your badge.
