Continuing Education
Units (CEUs) offer formal documentation, recognized by major institutions within
the United States, that you've completed a class. The CEUs assigned to each
class are based on the number of hours recommended to complete that class (10
hours = 1 CEU). See the class descriptions in the Course Catalog to find
out how many CEUs are assigned to a specific class. To qualify for CEUs, you must do all of the following: 1. Register
as a full student for a course. Audit students are not eligible for CEUs. (See
What
it means to be an auditor rather than a full student.) 2.
Indicate that you want to
receive CEUs when registering for the course. You also can request CEUs after
registration, but before the course has ended, by changing your CEU status. See How
to add or drop CEUs for more information. 3.
Enter the classroom at
least once a week every week the course is in progress. Enter the classroom from
the My Courses page or from the course syllabus. If you sign up for CEUs in a class and have successfully met the class
attendance requirements, My SkillSource will send your name and coursework to
the National Registry of Training Programs (NTRP) of the American Council on
Education (ACE). Your record will contain a brief course description and the
recommended number of CEUs. Once your CEUs are recorded at the ACE, you can request a formal transcript
of your studies to be sent to you or to your workplace (or some other
institution). The ACE charges (US) $5 per transcript for processing.
Transcript requests should be sent to: American Council on Education Include your name, social
security number, the address where the transcript should be sent, your
signature, and the $5 processing fee for each transcript request. What it means to be an
auditor rather than a full student When you register for a
course, you have a choice of taking the course as a full student or as an
auditor. (If the course has already reached its limit of full students, then
auditor will be the only option available.) The table below shows the
differences in access between full students and auditors.
To sign up for CEUs when
you register for a class: 1. Follow
the standard procedure for registering for a class. 2. When
you click the "Register" button on the class description page, you'll
be taken to a page where you select whether you want to register as a full
student or as an auditor. *Note: You must be a full student rather than an auditor in the
class to sign up for CEUs. 3.
On
this same page, you'll find a section labeled "Do you want to receive
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for this course?" Click the Yes radio
button to sign up for CEUs. To add or drop CEUs after
you've registered for a class: 1.
From
the My Courses page, click the course title to display the course syllabus page.
2.
In
the Course Activities box, click the Change registration link to display the
Change Class Registration page. 3.
Click
the check box labeled I would like to receive CEUs for this class. 4.
Click
the Change Registration button. *Note: You
can sign up for CEUs as long as the class is still in session, but not once the
class has ended. Also, if you sign up for CEUs after a class has started, you
must still meet the full requirements for CEUs. That is, you must be in the
classroom at least once a week during every week the class is in session,
including any class weeks before you signed up for CEUs.
