The University of Missouri is a member of the University Continuing
Education Association. Member schools in this national organization
strive for systematic recording of continuing education opportunities.
The CEU (continuing education unit) is the nationally recognized measure
for noncredit learning experiences. Individuals may use CEUs to:
Upgrade professional skills.
Document qualifications for licensure, certification, or registration.
Give evidence of personal or vocational growth to meet career
needs.
Prepare for a new career by personal preference or to keep pace
with technology.
Demonstrate conscious and persistent effort toward personal
development.
Anyone can apply for enrollment in an independent study continuing education course by
submitting an application form along with the course fee. Those enrolled in a continuing
education course can receive one CEU for the equivalent of each 10 contact hours of study.
If you want a CEU report, include your CDIS ID number on your application. Note: Some noncredit courses do not award CEUs; before you enroll,
check course descriptions to see which noncredit courses award CEUs.
