Service Charge for AJET Quizzes Rescinded
 
The service charge of $10 (member rate) for each AJET quiz faxed or mailed to the ASET Executive Office previously announced with an effective date of April 15, 2009 – and as published in the March 2009 issue of the American Journal of Electroneurodiagnostic Technology (AJET) – has been rescinded. Non-members submitting hardcopy of AJET quizzes will still be subject to the $15 service charge. Members who have submitted payment for the service charge via check will have their checks voided and returned. Members who have submitted payment via credit card have not had their account charged for the service fee.
 
Remember, two ACE credits are awarded for reading the journal and answering the applicable AJET Quiz with 80 percent accuracy. (Quizzes are open book.)
 
Continuing with ASET’s move toward encouraging conservation of our natural resources, members may submit AJET quizzes online for only $5 each ($10 each for non-members) at http://online-edu.aset.org (Click on Courses on the left navigation bar, then under Categories on the right navigation bar, select “03.
