CE courses are noncredit training and educational opportunities. Upon successful completion of required contact hours in a CE course, you will receive a certificate of completion and CEUs rather than college credit. One CEU is equal to 10 contact hours of successful completion in a CE course or program. CEUs can count toward the required professional development hours for your career and licenses. CE classes may be listed on a college transcript but they do not affect your GPA.
At this time, CE courses are not eligible for traditional financial aid for individuals. Based on the Federal IRS tax laws, CE tuition also does not qualify for a 1098T tax credit.
Businesses and organizations may be eligible for grants. Learn more at Grants & Funding
