CEUs are nationally recognized units of credit used to measure and record post-secondary studies that do not include academic credit. CEUs are widely recognized by employers, relicensing agencies and other entities that require a specific number of hours of instruction for career advancement.

One CEU is defined as ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction. Units are computed in tenths, e.g., 5 contact hours equals 0.5 CEU's and are awarded on a credit/no credit basis.

Some programs may provide industry specific credit, refer to the program website or brochure to determine if industry specific credit is available.

An incomplete status may be given only upon the discretion of the program manager. Students will be given 6 weeks from the course end date to complete their requirements. Incompletes not resolved after this point will be converted to a Non Credit (NC) grade.
