ASL Interpreting Services is an approved sponsor for ALL types of CEU activities.
If you would like to request CEU Sponsorship for an activity, please download and fill out the appropriate form and email it to CEUsponsor@aslis.com. Please allow 2-3 weeks prior to activity start to get sponsor approval.
Any course taken through an accredited college or university is eligible for either General Studies (GS) or Professional Studies (PS). ASLIS, as the sponsor, will help determine which one the particular class may be applied to.

Typical # CEUs Earned: 1.0 – 2.0 – limit
Cost: $75 per activity
These activities are usually workshops/seminars/conferences that don’t already have a built in RID sponsor. A wide variety of events can fall under a PINRA, from community education classes to national speakers. Check with ASLIS to approve your activity BEFORE it starts.
Typical # CEUs Earned: 0.1 – 1.5 – no limit
Cost: $50 per activity
Better known as workshops, ASLIS tries to hold multiple workshops every year that interpreters can register for and attend. This type of activity involves no paperwork on the interpreter’s part. In addition to holding our own, ASLIS will also sponsor workshops for groups (MADC, MNLoon, ASLTA, MState, etc.) who would like to offer CEUs, but are not sponsors themselves.
Typical # CEUs Earned: 0.3 – 1.2 – no limit
Cost: Varies, depending on the workshop.
