[Organizations & Associations](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#organizations-associations) May 30, 2026 # U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Members ## How CEU Events handles your GBCI credits — including self-reporting, where to find your GBCI course number on your certificate, and how to set up your account.  🧑‍🎓 **This article is for Attendees who are USGBC/GBCI members.**  If you're a USGBC member maintaining LEED credentials or other GBCI certifications, CEU Events gives you everything you need to track your continuing education credits — but unlike some other organizations, USGBC follows a **self-reporting model**, where you submit your own credits to GBCI using the certificate you receive from each event. ##### About USGBC and GBCI credits USGBC members complete continuing education credits that are recognized as **GBCI credits** — Green Business Certification Inc. is the credentialing body that manages LEED and other USGBC professional credentials. When you see "GBCI credit" or "GBCI-approved" on a course, that's the same as USGBC continuing education. ##### How CEU Events handles GBCI credits Unlike some other organizations (such as AIA), **USGBC does not require providers to report attendance directly**. Instead, USGBC follows a self-reporting model: you earn the credit by attending an approved event, and you submit it yourself to GBCI using documentation from the event. What this means for you: - **You don't need to enter a USGBC or GBCI membership number** in your CEU Events profile — there's no automatic reporting tied to it. - **You self-report your GBCI credits** using the Certificate of Completion CEU Events generates after each event. - **Your GBCI course number** — needed when you self-report — is included on the certificate. ##### How to set up your account for GBCI tracking You don't need to enter a membership number, but you can flag your profile so your account is set up for tracking GBCI-eligible activity: 1. Sign in to your CEU Events account at [www.ceuevents.com](https://www.ceuevents.com). 2. Update your profile by selecting **Architect**, then **GBCI**. 3. Save your profile. For step-by-step guidance, see [Add or Update Your Memberships and License Numbers](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/add-or-update-your-memberships-and-license-numbers). ##### How to self-report your credits to GBCI After attending a GBCI-approved event on CEU Events: 1. **Download your Certificate of Completion** from your CEU Events account. See [Retrieve Your Certificate of Completion](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/retrieve-your-certificate-of-completion). 2. **Find your GBCI course number** on one of the pages within the certificate. 3. **Submit the credit to GBCI** through your USGBC/GBCI member portal, using the course number and event details from your certificate. > 💡 **Tip:** Keep your CEU Events certificates organized by reporting period — they're your record of attendance and your source for course numbers when self-reporting. Filtering and exporting certificates in batches makes reporting periods more manageable. See [Filter and Export Your Certificates](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/filter-and-export-your-certificates). ##### Find GBCI-approved events Browse the full list of [GBCI-approved courses and upcoming events](https://www.ceuevents.com/state-licensing-boards-and-associations/green_business_certification_inc). For broader event discovery, see [Browse Courses and Upcoming Events on CEU Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/browse-courses-and-upcoming-events-on-ceu-events). ##### Best practices - **Note the GBCI course number when you self-report.** It's on the certificate — saving it alongside your reporting record makes future verification easier. - **Batch your self-reporting.** Instead of reporting one event at a time, use [Filter and Export Your Certificates](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/filter-and-export-your-certificates) to pull all your GBCI-eligible certificates for a reporting period and submit them together. - **Confirm a course is GBCI-approved before registering.** Check the course details or the GBCI-approved event list linked above to verify approval. #### Troubleshooting - **You can't find the GBCI course number on your certificate.** It's on one of the pages within the certificate (multi-page format). Check each page. If you still can't locate it, [contact CEU Events support](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new). - **Your credit isn't showing up in your GBCI transcript.** Because USGBC is a self-reporting model, the credit won't appear automatically just because you attended the event — you need to submit it yourself through GBCI. - **You attended a course that wasn't GBCI-approved.** Not every course on CEU Events is GBCI-approved. Verify approval on the course detail page or the [list of GBCI-approved events](https://www.ceuevents.com/state-licensing-boards-and-associations/green_business_certification_inc) before registering. - **You're not sure if a course qualifies for a specific credit category.** Check the course details on the registration page, or [contact CEU Events support](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new) before registering. - **Still have questions?** [Contact CEU Events support](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new) and we'll help. - [For Attendees](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#main-content) - [Certificates & Credits](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#certificates-credits) - [Attending Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#attending-events) - [Manage My Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#manage-my-events) - [My Account & Profile](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#my-account-profile) - [Reviews & Feedback](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#reviews-feedback) - [Organizations & Associations](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-attendees#organizations-associations) - [For Instructors](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#main-content) - [Best Practices](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#best-practices) - [Managing My Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-events) - [Managing My Courses](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-courses) - [Managing My Profile](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-profile) - [Managing My Requests](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#managing-my-requests) - [Reports](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#reports) - [Marketing Resources](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-instructors#marketing-resources) - [For Providers](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#main-content) - [Managing Instructors](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-instructors) - [Managing Courses](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-courses) - [Managing Requests](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-requests) - [Managing Events](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#managing-events) - [Reports](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#reports) - [Marketing Resources](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#marketing-resources) - [Company Profile](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#company-profile) - [Reviews & Feedback](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-providers#reviews-feedback) - [For Places/Locations](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-places-locations#main-content) - [Places Account](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-places-locations#places-account) - [Locations Account](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-places-locations#locations-account) - [For Conference Organizers](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-conference-organizers#main-content) - [Preparation for the Conference](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-conference-organizers#preparation-for-the-conference) - [During the Conference](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/for-conference-organizers#during-the-conference) - [General](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/general) [![CEU-Events-Logo](https://help.ceuevents.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CEU-Events-Logo-100-1.png?width=100&height=100&name=CEU-Events-Logo-100-1.png "CEU-Events-Logo")](http://www.ceuevents.com) [www.ceuevents.com](https://www.ceuevents.com) Copyright © 2026, CEU Events [Report an issue with this article](https://help.ceuevents.com/en-us/kb-tickets/new)
