Continuing Education Units

When setting up and event, you can attach Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to any registration item.  People who register for that item will then be attributed CEUs of the type and quantity you choose. You can also manually add CEUs to a profile in the Certifications tab for that profile.

Administrative Setup

Before assigning CEUs to an event, you will need to set up the different CEU Types (categories/classifications of CEUs) in the Admin section.

1. Go to Admin > Manage Codes > Continuing Education Unit Type Codes > Continuing Education Unit Types.
2. Click Create a New CEU Type.
3. Enter the name of the CEU Type and a brief description.
4. In the Accreditation Cycle, enter the number of month for which the CEU Type is valid, for example enter 12 if the CEU Type is valid for 1 year after it is earned. If the CEU Type never expires, you can leave this at 0.
5. Click Save above the grid.

If you would like to manually enter CEUs earned outside of your Atlas event registration module, you'll also need to set up Certification Activity Sources. 

1. Go to Admin > Manage Codes > Continuing Education Unit Type Codes > Certification Activity Sources.
2. Click Add a Certification Activity Source.
3. Enter a name and brief description for the Source (for example, Credit Transfer or College Equivalency).
4. Click Save.

1. Open the profile to which you need to add the CEU.
