What are Certification Renewal Units (CRUs) and Continuing Education Units (CEUs)?
Certification Renewal Units (CRUs) are credits which may be applied toward license renewal only after earning a Master’s degree, or after completion of 36 semester hours beyond the Bachelor’s degree of approved academic credit. One CRU is equivalent to two contact hours in an approved seminar or program. A total of 15 CRUs equal one semester hour. CRUs can be used with semester or quarter hours in any combination providing the equivalent of six semester hours is reached. For a CRU to be valid, the program must be approved. Make sure that you have verified this information prior to taking any seminar or program. Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are not equal to CRUs and cannot be used for renewal.
