What type of credits are these?

You will choose either ED 501 level Masters-Eligible graduate credits -or- ED 500 level semester graduate credits for non-degree seeking purposes.

Most States and Districts accept either format for post-baccalaureate needs such as pay scale increases or recertification/relicensure. We have worked with thousands of educators from all 50 States, but it is your responsibility to check your State/District requirements. See below for additional considerations…

ED 500 “PF” courses require 15 hours of workload PER CREDIT, as shown on each course syllabus (look for the red .pdf icon on each course page). 500 Level courses receive a Pass/Fail Grade on official university transcripts (sometimes listed as “S” for Satisfactory). They are only for non-degree-seeking students for State License Renewals and District Pay Scale Advancement. Note that some districts require a letter graded transcript so please consult your State and local District for approval of the Pass/Fail marks on your transcripts if you choose to go with ED500 level courses.

ED 501 “MA” Courses require 37.5 hours of workload PER CREDIT, as shown on each 501 level course syllabus (look for the red .pdf icon on each course page). 501 Level courses receive a Letter Grade on official university transcripts. These courses are MASTERS ELIGIBLE, and can be applied to a Masters Program at Colorado State University Pueblo (and thus may be transferred to another institution if needed). They require additional assignments, writings, and Research Article Reviews’ as compared to 500 level courses. Some School Districts and Union Contracts nationwide are moving to these MA requirements for license renewals or pay scale advancement. 501 level MA courses are valid for State License Renewals, Pay Step Increases and Masters Programs. Consult your District’s HR Dept or State Edu. Dept. or desired University Masters program for approvals.

Can I complete my Degree with these courses?
See above detailed response. TLC courses are primarily for post-baccalaureate needs such as recertification and professional development or pay scale advancement. Our ED501 level courses can be applied to a Masters Program at Colorado State University Pueblo, and transferred from there to another university if needed (subject to all normal transferability requirements).

Course Guidelines and Considerations
 

Thank you for choosing TLC for your professional and educational enrichment. Below are guidelines that will assist in communicating with the instructor and smoothly facilitate course completion.

1. Send in the registration form and evaluation as soon as possible to TLC, or make sure you enclose it with your final papers. No grade/ transcript can be issued without it.
2. Place your full name on ALL email correspondence. Email communication is informal, however we receive numerous emails from educators and a mix-up or omission can easily occur if subject lines and body content are not specific about who/which course are being referenced.
3. Contact us by email at any time and we will respond quickly. The Instructor will also be glad to talk with you in person at your convenience.
4. Be sure and read all syllabus directions. If we don’t hear from you, we will assume you are fine. If you have questions, need more support or conversation please let us know.
5. Please send in the course evaluation with registration form or, for anonymity, mail in the evaluation form without a return address.
6. Let us know immediately if any CD’s or DVD’s are inoperable. We will send you a replacement.

1. Allow 2 weeks for a transcript after all work and procedures have been followed. The university doesn’t send out an alert that transcripts have posted, so you will need to check periodically yourself.
2. Receipts are available upon request.
3. Finally, we welcome any recommendations, especially exceptional books you feel can be a valuable book course for many teachers.
