Fall 2026 Modules
NOTE: You do not need to complete 101 modules prior to registering for 201 or 301 modules. You can choose modules that best fit your professional development needs.
"Module" refers to the entirety of a course. There are five modules.
"Session" refers to the individual sessions in each module. Each module will have eight hours' worth of sessions. To receive a completion certificate, you must attend all sessions.
These are not lecture-style webinars, they are virtual classroom experiences! Plan to be engaged & interactive with your faculty and with other attendees in your cohort! Even our asynchronous module, Core Skills, will have interactive elements.
ASCA’s Student Conduct Series provides a distilled training in a virtual environment. In SC 101, 201, and 301, attendees will engage in a training concentrated on a particular topic. Our SC 101 modules provide foundational knowledge, while our 201 and 301 modules provide intermediate to advanced knowledge. The in-person Gehring Academy is designed to cover similar topic areas; however, the Academy is able to utilize a four-day training period to go in-depth on these and other topics. Some changes may be made. Current descriptions are always available on the ASCA site.
