Continuing Education Units (CEU's) 
Effective with the Fall Quarter 1974, approval was given by the president and Board of Trustees for Continuing Education Units (CEU’s) to be awarded in accordance with guidelines published by the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges. A Continuing Education Unit is defined as: "Ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction."
