What is a CU or CEU credit?
According to the Minnesota Higher Education Services Office (MHESO), the designation of CU or CEU was a movement for standardization of continuing education back in the ’80s that never really took off. The term CU/CEU can be used by anyone in any means, as there is no regulation. The International Association for Continuing Education and Training is a voluntary accreditation organization that allows those passing its accreditation process to use its logo when advertising CEUs. It dictates that 10 hours equal 1 CEU. The Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training also does voluntary accreditation. The Minnesota Society of CPAs follows the rules of the Minnesota Board of Accountancy or other appropriate boards when determining our suggested CPE credit hours.
