Teachers can earn graduate credit using many of Annenberg Learner's professional development and content courses. Colorado State University offers two or three credits for teachers who use all the support materials found on the Annenberg Learner course websites and complete an end-of-course project. Teachers who participate in moderated course groups through PBS TeacherLine can get optional graduate credit through one of several colleges and universities that partner with TeacherLine. The University of San Diego offers one continuing education graduate credit for select courses geared toward implementing new teaching strategies or school improvement plans.

When to Begin Course Work

Credit Limit

You cannot receive credit for the same workshop or course twice. As each graduate level credit represents 15 class hours plus homework time, you are limited to 5 credits per semester (two 2-credit workshops, or one 3-credit course and one 2-credit workshop). Most Annenberg Learner workshops and courses through Colorado State University are offered under the course number of EDUC 591 with the different discipline areas signified by the different sub-section letters "C, D, E, & F" with section numbers specifying each series. Please retain email confirmations and instructions you will receive after enrolling online for your records and future reference.

Schedules

You may choose the future semester in which you receive credit. You may begin or even complete the course work (including watching the video programs) before enrolling in order to give yourself sufficient time to complete the work within the semester you choose. Once you enroll, you will be placed into the corresponding semester. See the chart below for the "last day to enroll" dates. CSU has a continuous, semester-based, open-entry system of registration for the Annenberg Learner courses.

Postmarking your completed coursework by the listed date will guarantee that the work will be reviewed in time for you to receive credit on a transcript at the end of the semester. If you cannot finish the work by the noted "date to mail coursework," please contact your instructor to arrange review outside of the usual marking period. You have a period of six months from the date you register to turn in your work. CSU is no longer able to process semester changes or grant refunds of tuition for those who withdraw. Please refer to the Table below in order to make your choice:
