State Board Recognition of Auburn University CEUs

Some states require that course sponsors/providers get approval, some require individual course approval, and almost all recognize ABET-accredited institutions and CEUs. Most states accept correspondence courses and allow CEUs to be converted to PDHs (or other measure of contact hours). A few states place the responsibility for individual course approval solely on the licensee. And because Continuing Education for PEs and LSs is relatively new and expanding, the states that require CE and their requirements change fairly frequently. If you are licensed in multiple states, you understand the situation. Since we deliver courses nationwide, it is impossible to detail every state's requirements in this catalog and how our courses may meet them. At catalog printing, we feel Auburn University and/or its courses meet CE requirements in almost all the states that require continuing education.

You should contact your state's licensing board about their rules if you are not familiar with them, and for specific course appropriateness for your license and situation. (Before you contact your state board, please read the next section and have this catalog handy.) We work hard to comply with each state's rules, but in every state the responsibility for meeting continuing education requirements rests with you, the licensee.
