What you need to know
about obtaining graduate-level credit from USD:
PDI now offers you the option to pay for the PDI course registration
fee as well as the graduate credit with your credit card
in the PDI shopping cart area. Simply select the option that says
"course plus graduate level credit."
Most PDI
courses are worth three graduate-level credits which is equivalent
to 45 hours of training. We do have a few courses that are worth
just one graduate level credit.
The cost
for three graduate level credits is $200.
USD
requires that you enroll in the graduate-level credit when
you register for your course. Please select the option to enroll in
the course with graduate level credit in the shopping cart area.
USD
requires that you 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 USD are intent on assuring that the participant is able to
maximize the knowledge gained by meaningful involvement in the
program.
(Note that from June through August, you must spend two weeks per
course)
Once you
complete your PDI course, we will send your credit paperwork to USD.
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 USD 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.
