CEUs are accepted by many state agencies and professional organizations as evidence of contact or clock hours toward certificate renewal.

One CEU is defined as ten (10) contact hours. It is possible to earn CEUs by attending in-person and/or on-demand conference sessions. A onetime $30 processing fee will be charged and must be paid directly via the VCU website, www.ocpe.vcu.edu.
