Continuing Education Units (CEUs)

In compliance with guidelines from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Kilgore College awards Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to students successfully completing various noncredit courses sponsored by the college. A CEU is officially defined as "ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education adult or extension experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction." The student should not interpret the CEU as a substitute for college credit. The CEU is a means of recording and accounting for various continuing education activities that a student has completed.
