CEU Event Organizer Information

Professional Development and CEUs

Thank you for partnering with Cal State Monterey Bay to offer Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for your workshop or educational event. Our goal is to make this process as seamless as possible by providing clear guidance and the information needed for you and your participants.

The details below help us evaluate your course and determine CEU eligibility. CEUs are calculated based on instructional (teaching) hours only and exclude breaks, lunch periods, and travel time.

A Continued Education Unit (CEU) is a nationally recognized measuring method used to quantify approved learning during professional development and training activities.

CSUMB’s College of Extended Education offers CEUs for qualified events based on the number of total training hours:

  • One (1.0) CEU = 10 clock hours of planned, structured learning
    • 10 hours = 1.0 CEU
  • CEUs are rounded down
    • Example: 12.5 hours = 1.2 CEUs; 7.5 hours = 0.7 CEUs
  • For conversion purposes, 1.0 CEU is equivalent to 1.0 non-degree track quarter unit value
  • CEUs are not academic units and cannot be transferred into a degree program

Please email questions and completed forms directly to Karen Sellick.

  1. Download and complete the CEU Application Form.
  2. Provide the daily course agenda with dates, times, and a brief description of the activity to qualify the number of clock hours.
  3. Provide an event flyer or equivalent if not included in the course agenda.
  4. Provide the instructor(s) vitae or resume.
  5. Email the completed CEU application(s) and supporting documents to EERegister@csumb.edu.
  6. Alternatively, mail all documents to CSUMB College of Extended Education, Grove Hall, Seaside, CA 93955.

Please email questions and forms directly to EERegister@csumb.edu.
