Oregon Registry Online hours are usually issued within five business days of the end of the class. You will be notified by email. Your hours are uploaded automatically into ORO; you do not need to upload your certificate into ORO yourself unless requested.
Certificates are sent out via email after the class is closed. All of the participants’ certificates are sent out as one document.
Certificates are printed with your name as it is spelled in Oregon Registry Online. If your name is spelled wrong, you will need to log in to your ORO account and correct it. Then contact ccrr@clackesd.org and request a new certificate for the class.
CPR cards are given out at the end of the in-person part of the CPR class. If you lose your card, please email ccrr@clacked.org. You will also receive a certificate of completion after your hours are issued.
This depends on the instructor, however all participants are expected to participate, whether on-camera, in the chat, in breakout rooms, or unmuted.
