August 25 CEU Guidance – COVID-19

The CEU Committee has updated its previous guidance related to CEUs.  The original guidance issued in March had an expiration date of September 1, 2020.   See previous guidance below.

Pursuant to 641 - 30.(2),  Half of the required Continuing Education Units (CEUs) can be completed through computer-based education courses.  The Governor's proclamation suspends this rule.  This means all of the CEUs can be completed through computer-based education courses.   Further, all currently approved in-person courses can now be offered through webinars, web conferencing, or other similar technology that allows for remote access for students.  This guidance is effective through the 2020 renewal period and ends on September 1, 2020. 

The updated guidance is mostly the same with an extension through June 30, 2021.  All CEUs needed for the 2020 renewal period can be completed online through June 30, 2021.  All currently approved in-person courses can be offered through webinar, web conferencing, or other similar technology that allows for remote access for students through June 30, 2021.  This updated guidance is meant to cover the altered 2020 renewal timelines, including any late renewal applications.   

For the 2023 renewal period, the rules remain in effect and at least half of the required CEUs must be completed via in-person courses.
