The University (Cal Poly) offers CEU's to all PE Workshop participants which can be used in your school district for pay schedule advancement. Earned CEUs may help maintain certification or licensure, or may document your continuing professional development for an employer, association, or credentialing agency. Earning CEU's is completely optional and must be paid for in advance, usually during formal check-in.

What is a CEU? One (1) Continuing Education Unit (CEU) = ten (10) contact hours of participation in organized continuing education/training experience under responsible, qualified direction and instruction by definition of the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). For each ten contact hours of Workshop participation you will receive one CEU. At the end of the workshop, you will recieve a copy of your earned CEU's (paid through registration) and once the university processes your units, a sealed transcript will be sent to the address on your registration form to be taken to your district office.

Attendance is required and will be taken at all instructional sessions. In order to receive CEUs the appropriate fee must be paid by the University's deadline, which usually begins on the first day of registration/check-in and ends by Monday or Tuesday. Check the message board or Daily Chatter for details of where and when to pay. Cal Poly Continuing Education maintains a record of the CEUs you have earned through our programs and courses. CEUs are for non-credit courses or programs. They cannot be converted to quarter or semester hour credit. Although Continuing Education Units are widely accepted by school districts in California and neighboring states, you should check with your district before registering. You may pay for CEUs at the time of registration. Retroactive units cannot be awarded. CEUs earned and reflected on a Cal Poly transcript may be used towards the professional growth requirements of your state. Refer to your state Department of Education for more information.
