Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
Participants successfully completing non-academic classes,
courses, or programs in Continuing Education or other approved campus programs
can be awarded Continuing Education Units (CEUs). CEUs are given to recognize
and record an individual’s participation in a non-credit educational program or
course that meets appropriate criteria. Many times, these programs or courses
take the forms of workshops, seminars, conferences, or in-service training. One
CEU is equal to 10 contact hours of participation in an approved program under
responsible leadership, capable direction, and qualified instruction.
For Copiah-Lincoln Community College
to award CEU credit(s), approval for the course or program must be obtained from
the Dean of Workforce Education. The Division of Workforce Education will then
issue registration forms that must be completed by each participant. Once
approved, course administrators must submit a copy of all registration forms, a
course syllabus, instructor(s)’ resumes, date(s) of the course to the Dean of
Workforce Education.
