  1. Cheating
  2. Fabrication
  3. Plagiarism
  4. Interference
  5. Violation of course rules

You can request a replacement contact hour record (if the activity occurred within six years prior to the request) by emailing us at cenurse@iu.edu. We need to know your first and last name, the name of the course or conference you completed/attended, and the date (year is required and month if available for activities offered multiple times per year) in which you participated so that we can confirm that we have a valid record on file. As records are kept for a minimum of six years, we cannot guarantee replacement of records from events that took place more than six years ago. NO records prior to 2013 are available.

Once we verify the record, there is an administrative processing fee of $25 for a replacement contact hour record/certificate. You should pay this fee via check* made out to Indiana University. Mail your fee to the Center for Professional Development and Lifelong Learning, IUSON, 600 Barnhill Drive, Indianapolis, IN 46202.

*No other forms of payment are accepted.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

  • We keep records for six years. Records for activities that occurred in 2013 or later may be available, though not guaranteed. Records prior to 2013 are not able to be replaced.
  • A $50 administrative fee will be charged for any check returned due to insufficient funds.
