The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a system that documents participation in non-credit courses. In 1968, the National Task Force to Study the Feasibility and Implementation of a Uniform Unit for the Measurement of Non-Credit Continuing Education Programs was established to determine the need for recognizing the efforts of individuals who participate in non-credit activities. Since 1970, when the Task Force issued recommendations, several states have adopted the CEU. These include Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia. The University of South Carolina is one of many individual universities to adopt the CEU to document its non-credit continuing education activities. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools is the first regional accrediting agency to require that all member institutions use the CEU to document non-credit special activities. CEU CREDIT Individual CEU's are computed on the basis of one unit for each ten contact hours of participation in non-credit Conferences
