How to Calculate Number of CPE Hours and Application Fee:
  1. 60 minutes = 1 CEU (Continuing Education Unit)
    *No more than 10 minutes for Q&A or evaluations per session
    *Do not include breaks, lunch, etc.

  2. Add up all minutes and divide by 60. To round off:
    *If less than ½, round down
    *If more than ½, round up
    *Example:
    Total minutes=395. 395 divided by 60= 6.58. Round up to 7.0 CEU’s.

  3. Application fee= $10.00 per CEU requested. In the example above, the fee would be $70 ($10.00 x 7 CEUs= $70).

  4. Make checks payable to the Michigan Dietetic Association.
