Effective March 1, 2010, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) began utilizing a Secure Central Registry (SCR) to track all State Board-Continuing Education Units (SB-CEU’s) earned January 1, 2010 and after. The SCR is available on a 24/7 basis and is staffed with Help Desk personnel to assist with site navigation, Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. MDE does not have a central registry for SB-CEU’s awarded prior to 1-1-2010. Individuals who need to verify credit awarded previous to this date must contact the SB-CEU coordinator of the offering and request a transcript.
Eligible participants now receive email notification following the upload of their record of completion with instructions on how to create a Personal Account in the SCR along with a deadline to complete the required common evaluation within 30 days. SB-CEU’s are awarded after evaluation completion and are immediately viewable on an Unofficial Transcript.
