The Professional Development Institute, in association with the University of Southern California (USC) Rossier School of Education, offers graduate level continuing education units for all of our online courses. USC is a fully accredited university located in Southern California. Continuing education units (CEUs) are typically used for credential renewal and/or salary advancement. Be sure to check with your district/state for their specific requirements.

What you need to know about obtaining graduate level continuing education units from USC:

  PDI now offers you the option to pay for the PDI course registration fee as well as the continuing education units with your credit card in the PDI shopping cart area. Simply select the option that says "course plus continuing education units."

  Most PDI courses are worth five continuing education units which is equivalent to 50 clock hours of training. We do have a few courses that are worth just two continuing education units.

  The cost for five continuing education units (CEUs) is $200.

  It is best to enroll in and pay for the continuing education units when you register for your course. However, USC allows you to obtain continuing education units up to six months after completing your course.

  While USC does not have a course enrollment limit, you will be required to spend a minimum of three weeks in EACH of your online courses. In other words, if you register for two online courses, you will be expected to spend three weeks in each course or a total of six weeks altogether. Completion paperwork will not be processed until you have reached this minimum timeline. Both PDI and USC are intent on assuring that the participant is able to maximize the knowledge gained by meaningful involvement in the program.

  Once you are issued a final grade for your PDI course, we will send your CEU paperwork to USC. They will enter your course and letter grade into their system and immediately send you a transcript at no charge. You will receive the transcript from USC approximately three weeks after your final grade is issued by PDI.  Additional transcripts may be purchased for $10. You can request and pay for additional transcripts online at PDI's website. Click here to request and pay for additional USC transcripts.
