Continuing Education Units
Once the Mastery Advising Certificate is awarded, advisors will be asked to maintain their certificate by completing yearly Continuing Education Units (CEU). Continuing Education Units will be weighted based on the activity’s commitment and impact. Six (6) CEUs will be required in two (2) categories annually. The three categories are Scholarship, Leadership, and Practitioner.
A full list of the activities and CEUs will be available in 2025.
Here are a few examples of activities and CEUs:
| Scholarship | Leadership | Practitioner | |||
