Welcome to the Sitting Bull College Continuing Education/Community Extension Program
The Continuing Education Program/Community extension program is aimed at providing high quality training for those in the communities the college serves. The College is able to provide Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for successfully training participants at qualified trainings.
What is a CEU?
CEUs, or Continuing Education Units, are markers of successful completion of educational experiences. Most commonly, CEUs are required by employers to show that employees have partook in Professional Development. These are not College courses which require College enrollment, but are ways to further develop interests or skills.
Who can get CEUs/take these courses?
SBC requires participants to be over 18 years old to get CEUs. Apart from that, agencies/institutions hosting or instructing may have their own requirements. Generally however, to take part participants do not need any specific prior education (degree, GED etc). SBC policies must be followed for all on SBC campuses.
How do I host or attend a training for CEUs?
Trainings can happen one of two ways, either a program can contact the College if they have a training planned and request for SBC to provide CEUs, or individuals or programs can even contact the College and request a course for CEUs and if there is the right amount of interest and availability the College will certainly try to do so. Additionally, SBC is usually able to provide a location for these courses or online zoom room if needed in one of the classrooms or public spaces in Fort Yates, McLaughlin, or Mobridge as needed. Additional information is provided on the CEU Request Form. Ultimately due to availability of staff, appropriateness of training, lack of qualifications of instructor, or many other factors SBC may not be able to approve CEUs, but we certainly encourage you to request.
