ÌÇÐÄÉç½» – Graduate-Level Extension Credit Information
The ÌÇÐÄÉç½» 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 ÌÇÐÄÉç½»’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 ÌÇÐÄÉç½»; 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. Unless prior written approval has been obtained from their district, retroactive enrollments will not be accepte
