What’s the difference between Academic and Professional Education Credit?
Whether you take these courses for professional education (formerly inservice) credit, undergraduate academic credit, or graduate academic credit, they will all appear on your transcript. The difference is that professional education credit is graded as Pass/Fail while academic credit is assigned a letter grade (A, B, C, D, F). If you want your credit hours to count toward a degree, you must take these classes for academic credit and check with your institution to see if they will be accepted for your program of study. If you want credit that counts toward recertification or a pay-raise, the lower cost option of professional education credit might be the way to go. Check with your certifying agency and/or academic institution to determine the credit option that is required for your situation.
