Taking an academic course

Courses for which academic credit is awarded by an accredited college or university, which can be used toward a degree or for continuing education purposes, are eligible for continuing education credit. These courses must keep librarians abreast of new knowledge and developments within their field, update their basic library-oriented education, enhance their job competence, or lead to specialization in a new area of librarianship.

Many colleges and universities also offer continuing education classes and credit is awarded as CEUs instead of academic credit. 

To be sure that a course is eligible for continuing education credit, please contact the Continuing Education Consultant before participating.

If credit is approved, you must submit a photocopy of a transcript from the educational institution in order to have the credit awarded. 

In order to determine continuing education credit:

• 1 semester hour of college credit = 15 continuing education credits
• 1 quarter hour of college credit = 10 continuing education credits
• 1 CEU credit = 10 hours of continuing education credits
