- If your school is an accredited member school with ACSI, that automatically qualifies it to be a CEU provider, which means they are able to provide opportunities for you to earn CEUs through the school.
- For more information, speak with the individual at your school who is identified as your school's "CEU Coordinator," or, if unsure, have your administrator e-mail the ACSI CEU Coordinator at ceus@acsi.org.
ACSI Member Schools
- Member schools choose to go through the CEU Provider application process in order to provide and upload CEU opportunities hosted at their campus to their teachers. Please contact ceus@acsi.org for more information.

Christian Colleges & Universities
- A final option for earning CEUs (or college credit) is through a college/university that is accredited (by a recognized agency) or a college/university that is recognized by ACSI.
- The college/university must have a public statement of faith that closely aligns with ACSI's Statement of Faith in order to be considered for Bible CEU.
- If you earn credit from the institution, you will need to submit an official transcript (or copy thereof) along with your application for certification.
