The enrollment fee covers some administrative costs, as well as a Master Certificate Program Binder which is utilized to maintain a student’s course materials and notes while working toward a Master’s Certificate. Once your application and enrollment fee has been processed, you will receive a confirmation package in the mail which will include a cover letter, course catalog, course enrollment forms, you Master Certificate Program Binder, and additional information and materials concerning the program concentration you initially enrolled in.

The Continuing Education Unit or CEU is a uniform measure of non-credit continuing education learning experience. What we mean by "non-credit" is that any CEU credit(s) earned under the Corporate University is not applicable toward any college, university, or four-year educational institution degree or course of study, accredited or non-accredited. One (1) CEU is awarded for every one (1) hour of participation. For example, if you attend a four hour training course under the Corporate University, you would be eligible for four hours of CEU credit. To receive full CEU credit for a course, an individual would have to participate in the entire length of the course. Leaving early and/or arriving late during a course may effect the number of CEU credits you may be eligible for earn.
The Corporate University currently offers CEU credits for individuals with a 1) California Residential Care Facility Administrator's License under a Group Home (GH), Adult Residential Facility (ARF) or Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) designation; or 2) current PHR, SPHR, or GPHR Certification under the HR Certification Institute (HRCI).
