ICEP Learning Portal - Uploading External Credits

This article describes how to upload external credits to the ICEP Learning Portal.

If you would like to use the ICEP Learning Portal as a repository for all of your CE credits, you may use the External Credits feature to document and house your credits/credit letters that you receive outside UW-Madison ICEP’s offerings. You can then access and download these credit letters anytime you need them.

Note that you cannot upload external credit on behalf of someone else. Only the learner can upload external credit to their account.
