Continuing Education Units

Northeastern Technical College has adopted the nationally recognized standard of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) as a means of recording and accounting for certain non-curricular courses, programs, and activities.

A CEU requires 10 contact hours of participation in an organized adult or continuing education activity properly sponsored or directed, with qualified instruction. A permanent record of CEUs earned by each student with fractions of hours to one decimal is maintained. Thus, a student satisfactorily completing 15 classroom hours receives 1.5 CEUs. Personal interest courses do not earn CEUs. In addition, one certificate of course completion is available upon request from the Office of Continuing Education.
