Purpose

This document sets forth the policy for the awarding of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for instructional events under the sponsorship of Eastern Mennonite University.

Definition

The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) certifies participation in non-credit continuing education programs. One CEU is defined as ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction.

Policy Statement

Program Qualifications

Non-credit programs for which individuals may be awarded Continuing Education Units must satisfy the following criteria:

...

The sponsoring unit must send the Continuing Education Unit Participant Form to the provost’s office (or the Associate Provost for EMU at Lancaster's office), along with certificate fees. This becomes a permanent record for each individual registrant to whom CEUs are awarded. These records are stored in a fireproof file case. A transcript of CEU records is made available by the Registrar’s Office upon request to the individual who has received those credits. Records are retained the same length of time as all credit records at EMU.

...

CEU certificates are returned to the contact person for delivery to the participants.

CEU Fees

Each student desiring CEUs pays the current fee in order to pay for costs of administration.
