The complete set of requirements for CEUs can be found in the Standards & Practices document. A summary of the approval process is included here:

CEUs can be awarded for:

Approval for the above activities should be obtained prior to completing the activity for which CEUs are sought.

Instructors should fill out an application and submit course material at least 6 weeks prior to the course for BOE and Education Committee approval.
Students should enquire with the instructors about CEUs prior to attending a course and request that the instructor apply to the BOE for CEU approval if they have not already done so.
