Certificated Request for Credit

If you decide to take units for advancement, please follow the below process:

1. Fill out the Request for Credit form. This form goes to your supervisor for preapproval of courses. Once submitted, the form will  be automatically routed to your administrator and Human Resources for review.   You will be notified by HR via email regarding the approval. All submissions must be made in the current year you will be taking the courses and prior to enrollment to determine if the courses are approved. 

2. Take the approved course.

3. Fill out the Unit Application Form to apply these pre approved units to your form. You will attach any transcripts to this form. (Please do not send transcripts to the DO 😃)

4. HR will send you a copy of your units worksheet with the units applied to your worksheet.

All units are due September 30th to be applied to your salary retroactive to July 1 of that same year. If you attend a professional development which you are approved for hours, you must attach a copy of a timesheet to the Unit Application Form. Do not just send a timesheet or we will pay you!

Please note we will review all units in September/October and confirm your salary movement, but feel free to turn in units as soon as they are earned.

You can view the WCSD document which outlines all of the Guidelines for Professional Growth.

All submissions must be made in the current year you will be taking the courses and prior to enrollment to determine if the courses are approved.  Please allow at least 5 working days for review and approval.
