SB-CEU Frequently Asked
Questions
- Who can use SB-CEUs
for renewal?
Persons holding a
Professional
Education
certificate, an
Occupational
Education
certificate, a
School Psychologist
certificate, and a
School Guidance
Counselor
certificate.
Administrators can
utilize SB-CEUs to
fulfill the
administrator
professional
development
requirements.
- I don
’t
have my first 18
credit hours
finished yet.
Can I use SB-CEUs to
renew?
No, you have to hold
a Professional
teaching certificate
or one of the others
listed above in
order to use SB-CEUs
for certificate
renewal.
- Can I convert
SB-CEUs into college
credit?
No.
- I will be
applying for (or
renewing) my
professional
certificate this
coming June.
Can I collect SB-CEUs
now to use for
renewal of my
certificate for the
next renewal period?
No. You
cannot
‘hold
over’
SB-CEU credits to
the next renewal
period. For
example: you renew
your professional
certificate for June
of 2010. You
have already taken
enough classes to
have college credit
to renew your
certificate with and
would like to begin
collecting SB-CEUs
to put toward your
renewal in 2015.
The SB-CEUs you
collect up to June
30th,
2010 can only be
used to renew your
certificate that
expires on June 30th,
2010.
- I have an
appointment (Doctor,
Dentist,
Chiropractor, etc.)
scheduled during the
day of a workshop.
Can I leave the
workshop and come
back, still
receiving my SB-CEUs?
No, unless the
appointment happens
during a break or
lunch and you have
returned by the time
the workshop
officially starts
again. The
state requires that
you are in
attendance for the
entire
workshop.
Please do not
ask to receive SB-CEUs
when you leave a
workshop for an
appointment and
return later.
- I've lost my
copy of the
certificate I
received at the
workshop. Can I get
a replacement? Can I
get a copy of all of
my SB-CEUs I've
received?
The CCISD will issue
an official
transcript for the
SB-CEUs you've
received through us
up to
December 31, 2009
for a $5.00 charge.
Call Loret Roberts
at 482-0331 to
inquire about an
official transcript.
Any workshops you've
attended at other
ISDs or through the
state will need to
issue you a separate
transcript. For
workshops after
January 1, 2010, you
can use the Secure
Central Registry (SCR)
system to check all
of your SB-CEUs
received, regardless
of where you
attended the
offering.
- I have to arrive
late/leave early
from a workshop.
Can I still
receive my SB-CEUs?
The state
requires you to be
in attendance for
the entire workshop
in order to receive
SB-CEUs for that
activity. Some
programs have a
little flexibility
built in to allow
for up to a 10
minute late arrival
time but not all, so
plan to arrive
early if you ’d
like to receive SB-CEUs
and to stay for the
entire offering.
- I forgot to
sign-in or out, turn
in my sign-out form,
pay the SB-CEU fee.
Can I still get SB-CEUs?
All persons
requesting SB-CEUs
must sign-in and out
of workshops and
credit cannot be
awarded if
signatures are not
found on the
official forms. All
persons requesting
SB-CEUs for an
offering must pay
prior to leaving the
workshop.
- I forgot to
request credit for a
workshop I attended
last year.
Can
I still get it?
Credit needs to
be requested at the
workshop you've
attended. With the
new SCR System,
CCISD does not have
the capability to
retroactively award
credit as that is
handled through
Michigan Department
of Education.
My school is
having an inservice
day. Can I get SB-CEUs
for it? All
districts have the
ability to apply for
SB-CEUs through
their
administrators.
Please follow the
directions listed on
this web site and
submit an
application at
least 45 days in
advance.
I did not
receive my SB-CEUs
through the SCR
system. Where are
they? Within
30 days of the
program, you should
receive an email
with instructions to
fill out an
evaluation form. If
you fail to complete
the evaluation form,
you will forfeit
your SB-CEUs. If you
have questions
regarding the form
or filling out the
evaluation, contact
the SCR Help Desk by
email
scr@gomiem.org
or 517-327-5925.
