Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ

The Division of Educational Outreach at Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ provides continuing education units (CEUs) for approved classes, workshops, seminars and conferences for both university departments and external organizations. The requesting provider must meet Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵstandards of academic integrity and have a legitimate educational purpose. The provider may not advertise CEU approval until such approval is granted in writing by WCU.

CEUs are based on 10 contact hours per one CEU. We can go to tenths but not hundredths. For example, you can have .5 CEUs (5 contact hours) but not .55 CEUs (5 1/2 contact hours). Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵwill not grant CEUs for less than 5 contact hours. CEUs are applicable to various licensing agencies. However, it is your responsibility to contact the agency to confirm that Western CEUs can be used at that agency. Certificates are mailed to the participant, not the agency.

HOW TO APPLY FOR CEU's (Individuals):
