Common questions

These short answers help visitors understand the basic differences before moving to the detailed subpages.

What is a CEU?

A Continuing Education Unit is a non-credit unit used to document participation in professional development or continuing education. One CEU equals 10 contact hours of instruction or learning activity.

Are CEUs the same as academic credit?

No. CEUs are non-credit and do not apply toward undergraduate or graduate degrees. They are used for professional development, employer documentation, certification, or related professional records.

When should a program use certificate-only documentation?

Use certificate-only documentation when participants need proof that they attended or completed a learning experience, but the program is not seeking official University CEU approval.

When should a program request CEU approval?

Request CEU approval when the program intends to award official University CEUs and participants need formal continuing education documentation.

Can we advertise a program as CEU-bearing before approval?

No. Programs should not advertise or imply CEU approval until the offering has been reviewed and approved through the University’s CEU process.

How do participants access CEU certificates and transcripts?

After completion is verified and processed, eligible participants receive access to electronic CEU certificates and transcript records through the Continuing Education portal.

Questions about CEUs or certificate documentation?

Contact Special Programs and Continuing Education for questions about CEU eligibility, application requirements, instructional hours, participant verification, certificate language, transcripts, or program approval.
