What are Continuing Education Units (CEUs)?
The CEU is a nationally recognized unit of measurement of non-credit, postsecondary-level study. It has been established by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET). You may earn CEUs for study in selected non-credit programs and courses. CEUs are designed for use where employers, relicensure agencies and other authorities require a specified number of hours of study on a regular basis for career advancement purposes. You can earn one CEU for every 10 contact hours of participation or portion thereof, e.g., eight continuing education hours equals 0.8 CEUs. Grading for CEU courses is on a credit/no-credit basis. NOTE: Some courses provided in Continuing Education may not meet the criteria for awarding CEUs. If you want to know whether your course qualifies for CEUs, please call, (302) 454-3956 for the Stanton campus or (302) 830-5200 for the Wilmington campus, or check the course information available on the registration site.
