Complete the Requirements & Claim Credit

Login to our SCM25 portal (linked here) with the email address that you used for SCM registration.
Navigate to the “Program” tab and find the session(s) you’d like to claim credit for.
Tests and evaluations become available when a session is live and are completed by clicking each “Pretest” “Posttest” and “Evaluation” button. Attendees are required to complete tests and evaluations for sessions they would like to earn credit for. If you see a pretest or posttest button listed under a session, you must complete it before claiming credit. May 29th is the last day to complete all pretests, posttests, and evaluations, and to claim credit in the SCM25 app or website.
After you’ve completed your session tests and evaluations, navigate to the “Certificates” tab to claim your credits. By selecting each "Claim Credits" button, a total number of your earned credits will be generated for each accrediting body. After the page refreshes, you should see your credit totals and two button options. Once you’ve claimed all earned credits, the “Claim” button will no longer be available. Certificates are NOT emailed to attendees. To download your credit certificates, select each "Download" button.
If you return to complete more sessions after you initially claimed credit, select the “Change” button within the necessary certificate section. Doing so will trigger the page to refresh and your Credits Claimed total to be updated. This will also generate an updated certificate for you to download.
