Teaching hours can count toward CEU credits; what is the rate, and how often can the same course be claimed?

• A. 1 clock hour equals 1 contact hour; same course can be claimed every four years
• B. 1 clock hour equals 2 contact hours; same course can be claimed every year
• C. 1 clock hour equals 1 contact hour; same course can be claimed every year
• D. 1 clock hour equals 0.5 contact hours; no repetition allowed

Answer: (A)

The main idea is how teaching hours convert to CEU credits and how often you can re-claim the same course. Here, teaching hours convert one-to-one with CEU contact hours: 1 clock hour equals 1 contact hour. That means every hour you teach adds the same number of CEU contact hours toward licensure requirements.

As for re-claiming the same course, you can claim the same course once every four years. In other words, after you’ve claimed it, you’d wait four years before counting it again toward your CEU total. This aligns the CEU process with a typical four-year licensure renewal cycle, ensuring there’s time to meet ongoing CEU requirements without double-counting the same content within a single cycle.

So, the correct rules are a 1-to-1 clock-to-contact hour conversion, and a four-year window for re-claiming the same course.
