Professional Development and CEUs
Information for CEU Event Organizers
Thank you for partnering with CSU 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, providing all necessary information for both you and your students.
The following information will help us evaluate your course and qualify your event for Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Events are qualified by the number of teaching hours excluding breaks, lunches 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 training hours provided:
- One (1.0) CEU is earned for 10 clock hours spent in a planned, structured learning experience or activity.
- 10 hours = 1.0 CEU
- CEU hours are rounded down (12.5 hours = 1.2 CEUs; 7.5 hours = 0.7 CEUs, etc.)
- For unit conversion purposes, one (1.0) CEU is equivalent to one (1.0) non-degree track quarter unit value.
- CEUs are not academic units and cannot be transferred to a degree program.
Please email questions and forms directly to Karen Sellick, EERegister@csumb.edu.
- Download and complete the CEU Application Form.
- Provide the daily course agenda with dates, times, and a brief description of the activity to qualify the number of clock hours.
- Provide an event flyer or equivalent if not included in the course agenda.
- Provide the instructor(s) vitae or resume.
- Email the completed CEU application(s) and supporting documents to EERegister@csumb.edu.
- Alternatively, mail all documents to CSUMB College of Extended Education, 100 Campus Center, Gavilan Hall (b.201), Suite 209, Seaside, CA 93955.
Please email questions and forms directly to EERegister@csumb.edu.
The College of Extended Education will:
- Review CEU application and supporting documents.
