NACADA is an approved provider for NBCC, National Board Certified Counselor Credit. The forms and information needed to determine which presentations qualify for NBCC designation are located at the link at the end of this page.  Please read all material very carefully. 

NOTE:  Only official sponsored NACADA events may offer NBCC's.  This includes only the National conference, Regional Conferences, NACADA Institutes and Seminars and state drive-in's that are officially sponsored by NACADA.  Non-NACADA sponsored state drive-in's and Allied member events do not qualify for this program.

NBCC’s are reported as contact hours or CEU’s (continuing education units). The Region Chair notifies the Conference Program Chairs of procedures and deadlines.

NBCC Approved Presentations
Once the program is set, the Region Chair, or another appointed person should review each session for NBCC credit eligibility and categorize each according to NBCC guidelines. (See packet sent to Regional Rep.)

Conference Committees should have NBCC presentations approved by the Region Chair or other appointee for NBCC credit BEFORE the program is printed.

• The Region Chair may delegate this task to a subcommittee.
• General Sessions and Keynote Addresses CAN be assigned continuing education contact hour credit, but only for the ACTUAL TIME the speaker addresses the subject. Mealtime, business meetings, etc. may not be counted.
• Approved sessions should be identified in the printed conference program. It should also be stated in the printed program that NBCC credits are being provided through the National Academic Advising Association, as opposed to the Region.

NBCC Monitoring Forms

• The Conference Chair arranges for distribution of the monitoring forms at on-site registration. The Executive Office will supply no carbon required NBCC Monitoring forms for Regional Conferences only.   
• The Region Chair designates who will sign the monitoring forms. More than one person may be designated to sign the forms (those working the on-site registration desk, for example).
• Have each applicant fill out the NBCC monitoring form including the appropriate signature.
• The Conference Chair or designee must sign the form, then return the original to the applicant sends the yellow copy (or a photocopy) of the signed monitoring form for each applicant to the NACADA Executive Office. The applicant keeps the original form to submit to their appropriate organization. 

Reporting to the NACADA Executive Office
