Tips:
-
- 10 hours of course time is equivalent to 1 college issued Continuing Education Unit (CEU). Participants will be given a certificate of verification for the CEU. CEU’s provide a nationally recognized standard that documents the number of professional development hours completed by individual participants.
- These are not transferable to college credits
- Units are determined by the number of contact hours of instruction. Example: 16 hours + 1.5 CEU’s.
- Reasonable allowances may be made for some activities such as lab assignments, field trips, and supervised study.
- Academic Success will determine the units allowed.
How Are Fees Determined?
The Department of Academic Success sets an hourly fee for the class and depends on the type of class and the enrollment limits. This fee is multiplied by the total number of hours of instruction. If supplies or equipment other than normal classroom resources are required, the fee is increased to cover the cost of these items.
SKC is Accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.
