Nebraska Career Development Event Registration
You must register for Nebraska Career Development Events using the online system. Please be sure to read all the instructions below so you successfully register your teams beginning on Tuesday March 3 at noon CDT. Registration will close on March 9 at 5:00 p.m. (CDT).
Note: Registration for the Nebraska FFA Convention is separate from CDE registration.
Registration
- After logging in (log-in information is below), verify the information is correct in “Step #1 – My Information,” including the teacher information. Update the list of students located in the “My Students” button to be sure it includes all students who will participate in CDEs. Use the “Add Student” button in the top-right to add additional students. Please do NOT delete students from this list unless they no longer attend your school.
- Choose “Step #2 – Event Registration” and scroll down to see the list of Career Development Events. Choose an event and drag students to fill the participant and alternate spots. NOTE: East Campus parking passes must be ordered through the FFA portion of registration during Phase I (March 3 - March 9 at 5PM CT).
- Choose "Step # 3" Summary” to view what you've registered. NOTES: You may register at any point before March 9 at 5:00 CT, and may modify your registration (add/delete) during that timeframe. You do NOT check-out to complete your registration. The system automatically saves your selections. Whatever is in the system at the end of the registration period is your official registration.
Registration Notes and Tips
- District NAEA Chairpersons will identify district-qualified teams. You will not be able to register your qualified teams until they are identified by the district chairperson. If you think that you should be able to register a team but it is not listed, please contact your District NAEA Chairperson, as they are the only person who can mark which teams have qualified.
- Only registered alternates will be allowed to substitute the day of the event. Be sure to fill your alternate spots!
- CDE events with multiple sections are assigned to you based on your district. Check the CDE Schedule to see when and where your school will participate.
