REGISTRATION INFORMATION
CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS
(CEU)
The continuing education unit (CEU) was
created to provide a standard unit of measure,
quantify continuing adult education and
training activities (non-credit), and serve the
diversity of providers, activities, and purposes
in adult education. One CEU equals ten contact
hours of participation in organized continuing
education/training experience under
responsible, qualified direction and instruction.
To receive CEUs you must attend a CEU-eligible
class, attend at least 80% of the class, and meet
all class requirements.
AGE REQUIREMENT
Students should be at least 16 years of age to
enroll in most continuing education courses,
except for those courses specifically designated
for younger students. Students under the age
of 16 who have completed at least the seventh
grade may be permitted to enroll on a case-
by-case basis. Students will be considered
for such admission if they demonstrate the
ability to profit from instruction based on a set
of specific criteria. For more information, call
the counseling office (301.846.2471). Certain
programs or courses of study include higher
minimum age for participation when the college
has determined that age is a factor necessary
to the normal operation of the program or
activity. Minimum age is used as a measure
or approximation of the level of maturity,
judgment and social independence needed
for successful participation in the program or
activity in addition to academic skills. [Authority:
34 CFR 110.12]
Certain programs offered by the Institute for
Learning in Retirement are offered as special
benefits for seniors, and include a minimum
age for participation in the program or activity,
as is permitted by federal law. Classes may be
opened to other interested individuals if space
is available. [Authority: 34 CFR 110.16]
