Continuing Education Units (CEUs)

The primary purpose of CEUs is to provide a permanent record of the educational accomplishments of an individual who has completed a non-credit class. CEUs are especially important to those who seek to maintain a credential, such as a real estate license. One CEU is defined as 10 hours of participation in a planned continuing education experience organized under responsible sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction. CEUs do not apply toward college degree requirements.

The State of Michigan Public Act 454 of 2004 establishes regulations to help ensure the privacy of student Social Security numbers. This includes the proper use, disclosure and disposal of student Social Security numbers. The Community College District of Monroe County, Mich. will follow procedures to ensure that these requirements are met. For procedural information, please see the Web site at www.monroeccc.edu.
