A note from us: Your success is important to us, and we want to make sure every course is the right fit for you. Credit acceptance varies by state and district, so if you have any doubt, check with your professional development department before purchasing — and feel free to contact us first. Refunds are not available if credits don't meet your requirements, and we'd rather help you choose right the first time.
How to Get Your Salary Points
Once you successfully complete your course, we'll email you a Certificate of Completion. Submit that certificate to your school's professional development office for salary point processing.
Not sure whether your school requires university credits? Check with your school's professional development office before purchasing. Some charter schools accept the Certificate of Completion alone, while others require an official university transcript.
University Credits
If you need an official university transcript, you can add university credits when you purchase. Once you complete your course, we take care of the rest — we send all the required documentation directly to your chosen university, and they'll issue your official transcript and email you instructions for accessing it. Your transcript will include the course name, course number, number of credits, and your grade.
Graduate-level credits are available through Adams State University, Augustana University, Valley City State University, and Cal Poly Humboldt. Visit our University Partners page to learn more.
