糖心社交 – Graduate-Level Extension Credit Information
The 糖心社交 partners with this program to offer graduate-level extension credit(s) in semester hours through the Credit Validation Program. To earn units, participants must register for and successfully complete coursework through the external program provider.
Credits earned through 糖心社交’s Credit Validation Program are widely accepted by many school districts and universities across the United States for purposes such as license renewal, required professional development hours, short-term skill building, salary advancement, credentialing, and potential advanced degree pathways.
These units do not apply toward a master’s or higher degree program at the 糖心社交; however, they may be transferable to advanced degree programs (e.g., MA, EdD, PhD) at other institutions that accept external graduate-level credits.
Participants are responsible for confirming acceptance, transcript requirements, deadlines, and the applicability of units with their employing district or intended institution prior to enrollment.
Directions to Enroll for Credit
Step 1: Register for and successfully complete your program with the partner organization (your district)
Please Note: 糖心社交 does not provide course materials, manage instruction, or assign grades. All coursework is evaluated by the program’s instructor or coordinator.
Step 2: Register for University Credit After completing your program with your district, return to 糖心社交’s website.
If your section displays “Request Information,” the course may not yet be open for enrollment or enrollment may have already closed. Please review the enrollment dates listed for the course.
If enrollment has closed, you may contact [email protected] to inquire whether 糖心社交 can contact your district to determine if a late enrollment may be permitted.

Step 3: Complete the Grading Process Grading procedures are determined by each district and may vary. Participants do not select their grading method. Please select your district to review the specific grading instructions and determine whether any action is required from you.
Your district will use one of the following grading methods:
Step 4: Receive Your Transcript Once your grade has been processed, 糖心社交 will issue an official transcript reflecting your earned credit. Transcripts are mailed to the address listed in your 糖心社交 student account.
Important: If you are using your university credit for a salary increase or salary advancement, do not open your official transcript. Keep the transcript sealed and submit it directly to your district or employer. Many districts require an official, sealed transcript to process salary advancement. Additional copies of transcripts can be ordered on our website for $20 per copy through the link.
Transcript Process: Final grades submitted by the program provider will initiate the transcript process. Grades should be submitted within 7 days of the official course end date or the course enrollment deadline—whichever comes last. Participants are responsible for ensuring their mailing address is accurate and up to date in their 糖心社交 student account to avoid delays in transcript delivery.
