What is the difference between CEU units and semester units?
Continuing education units (CEU) are nationally recognized units for measuring participation in professional development activities or programs that do not award academic credit. They are appropriate when a certain number of hours are required by an employer or a professional association or by law where non-credit study is acceptable. A number of states, including California, require paralegals to satisfy annual continuing education requirements. Business and Professions Code Section 6450 requires that all paralegals have four hours of general legal CEU and four hours of ethics CEU every two years. SF State is an approved continuing education provider, and the SF State Paralegal Certificate Program offers CEU courses for paralegal students and graduates. These are usually short, weekend courses. Students must be careful in selecting CEU courses. Only CEU offered by approved MCLE (Mandatory Continuing Legal Education) providers are recognized pursuant to Business and Professions Code Se
