Professional Development and CEUs

CEU registration information

The Professional Development program within the College of Extended Education collaborates with leading local educational providers to qualify their events for Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

What is a CEU?

A Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a nationally recognized measuring method used to quantify approved learning during professional development and training activities. Events are qualified on the number of training hours provided:

  • One (1.0) CEU is earned for 10 clock hours spent in a planned, structured learning experience or activity.
  • A unit conversion example: one (1.0) CEU is equivalent to one (1.0) non-degree track quarter unit (10 hours) value.
  • CEUs are not academic units and cannot be transferred to a degree program.
  • Prior to registering, students should check with their district office or state licensing agency.

Important considerations before registering

  • We advise that you check with your school district and/or state licensing agency before registering, to verify that CEUs are accepted and meet your district and/or state requirements for salary advancement.
