How to Claim CE Documentation for Nurse Licensure

If seeking documentation to claim continuing education credit at Frontier Nursing University, please refer to your state or organization guidelines for applicability. Education that is related to university courses is reported with a transcript while CE's from other sources are reported with a certificate of completion. Individuals only receive a CE provider number on a certificate of completion; if reporting university course work this number is not needed --only a transcript is required.

The following table summarizes how to access your documentation based on the type of education completed:

If you have taken a CE module from FNU, you would have received a certificate of completion via email. However, if you have taken university courses at FNU, you will need to submit your transcript. If a transcript is required to document completed coursework, you may access it via Self-Service.

Jill Alliman, CNM, DNP, has over 40 years of midwifery clinical and advocacy experience to improve access to maternity care for rural and underserved communities. As Assistant Professor at Frontier Nursing University, she teaches Master’s and Doctoral APRN and CNM students about policy and collaboration skills impacting their future practice.
