Earning Continuing Education (CE) Credit

Licensed healthcare professionals may qualify for CE credit for some HLC courses that offer CE credit. Credit is awarded for course completion if the license/discipline information stored in the system matches the requirements for a specific CE credit type associated with the course (see Managing Discipline and License Information).

Earned CE credit will appear on the transcript (beneath the course name). It will also appear on the Course Details page, when the Course Name link is clicked from the Transcript page.

CE credits for which you qualify will appear on the Course Details page. All CE credit being awarded for the course will appear on the Course Overview page.

Tip: If you do not see CE credit on your transcript for a course even though you qualify for the awarded credit type, be sure to check your Discipline and Licensure Information in the My Profile tab to ensure that your license information is stored in the system. If you enter your license information after completing a course, you will need to refresh CE credits (See Refreshing CE Credits).

Some accrediting bodies require that credits earned be reduced to the actual amount that reflects the time spent in the CE course. If this rule applies to your specific discipline/licensure, you may need to reduce the number of earned credits (see Editing CE Credits).
