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]
