ABOUT CEU CREDIT

Walters State Community College uses Continuing Education Units (CEU's) as a means of recognizing and recording the efforts of individuals who enroll and satisfactorily complete the college's non-degree activities. These CEU's carry no credit for college degree programs and are a separate and distinct operation from the college's credit program which leads to the associate degree. The recording of the CEU's will, however, provide a permanent record of an individual's participation in non-degree activities.

The continuing Education Unit is defined as follows: 10 contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education activity under responsible sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction. Continuing Education Units (CEU'S) will be computed on the basis of one CEU for each 10 hours of contact. Units will be recorded to one decimal point. Thus a student enrolled in a non-degree activity which meets for a total of 12 hours would earn 1.2 CEU's.

On request, the department of Admissions, Records and Student Information will mail students an official transcript. In cases where an enrollee drops an activity after it has started or otherwise fails to complete it, this report will indicate an unsatisfactory (U) grade. If an enrollee chooses to officially withdraw, the request must be made to the dean of Community and Economic Development. Only in cases of official withdrawal will an enrollee receive a grade of (W) withdrawal. Enrollees satisfactorily completing a CEU course will receive a grade of (S) Satisfactory.

Beyond the knowledge and skills acquired through participation in non-degree activities, it will be of sufficient value to both their efforts to make education a continuing process.

The value of the CEU is recognized nationally.
