University Graduate Credit Option

UC Denver Banner

Graduate credit for off site professional development courses offered by Expeditionary Learning Schools is available through the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center for a tuition charge of $60.00 per semester credit hour, payable directly to the university. Three-day institutes earn 1.5 semester hour, five-day institutes earn 2 semester hours, and the seven-day offerings earn 3 semester hours. Participants selecting the graduate credit option will complete a project showing how strategies presented in the course will be implemented in their classrooms or their school. Participant project work is graded on a pass-fail basis, and transcripts are available upon request from the university at the end of the term in which the institute is graded. Credit will not apply toward a degree program. Participants who wish to earn university credit for an institute must indicate their intention to register by clicking below.
