Academic Credit and PDUs
Credit Options
Professional Development for Educators workshops are offered with a one credit option. The University of Oregon is on a quarterly credit system. The cost per credit at the undergraduate level is $85. A graduate level credit is $115.
Academic credit is typically earned for course work completed during a ten-week academic quarter. The University of Oregon requires at least ten hours of in class or contact time and twenty hours for out-of-class assignments for one credit unit.
One hour of academic credit can be earned by attending a workshop and successfully completing an out-of-class assignment. These assignments generally include some required reading, a reaction paper, and a project that allows participants to apply what has been learned to the classroom or in another professional setting. The due date for the paper/project is usually six to eight weeks after the workshop.
Participants seeking the credit option for a one-day workshop will also participate in extended sessions and distance education components. These may include lunch assignments, post-workshop sessions, and activities such as follow-up assignments and online discussions with the presenter.
Credit requirements for specific workshops will be available on-site. They can also be requested a week ahead by calling 800-824-2714 or 541-346-4231 or by e-mailing the program coordinator at ctrinfo@uoregon.edu.
PDUs
All participants receive a certificate that verifies their participation, the number of hours of instruction associated with the workshop and the equivalent number of PDUs.
