Attendance Reporting

In an effort to be eco-friendly and streamline our attendance reporting processes, the College of Optometry eliminated paper attendance sheets at all in-person Continuing Education events effective May 1, 2024.

At in-person Continuing Education events, attendance will be collected via QR codes or individualized web links. Both options will be available during event check-in.

OE Tracker Number Required

These courses are not COPE approved, so the OE Tracker app will not be used to submit completed courses. However, a QR code will be provided after each lecture to record attendance and complete course evaluations.

Attendance will be uploaded to OE Tracker for each lecture during the week following the event.

You must enter your OE Tracker number after every lecture, so please make sure you know your OE Tracker number before attending.

• How systemic disease affects vision and the eye
