Check My Renewal Credits

  • Employees can check their renewal credit history through the Human Resource Management System's (HRMS). The history must be viewed using Internet Explorer and must be viewed on a computer at a school site. This link will return a warning that "The site's security certificate is not trusted!" Do not be alarmed. Go ahead and "Proceed anyway." Data sent through this site is encrypted, so it is safe to use. Copy the following link and paste into your Internet Explorer web browser: http://149.173.159.28/hrms/ceu.nsf/ceuhistory?openform

    The credits are granted based on certificate of credits sent to us for staff development activities 'outside' the county, for 'in-house' activities where employees sign a 'roster' verifying attendance, and by submitting grade reports for college courses. Remember, 1.0 renewal credit is equal to 10 contact hours; thus only 0.1 unit is given for a 1-hour activity. College courses are credited as 1.5 CEUs for each semester hour.

     

    If you have renewed since we acquired Professional Growth with Frontline (formerly My Learning Plan), your portfolio in Professional Growth will reflect the CEU's you have toward your next renewal.
