Students who withdraw from a course must do so in writing. Nonattendance does not constitute an official withdrawal. Educators taking courses for credit are required to complete assignments for evaluation outside of direct contact hours. These assignments may include lesson plans, readings, papers, projects, presentations or other work relating the course content to classroom application. Most final course projects will be due two weeks after the final class meeting. An official grade report will be provided automatically 10 to 15 business days after projects are submitted. Courses for credit qualify for PA Act 48 standards; non-credit coursework does not qualify. A three credit class will be posted as Act 48 90 hour equivalency. Students must supply their unique PA Act 48 Professional Personal ID number and complete the request form, distributed in class, to have their credit course posted. Act 48 posting to the PA Department of Education occurs at the end of each month, after final grading for coursework is complete.
