You can request that credit for a course or activity completed elsewhere (externally) be added to your transcript. We ask that you communicate your plans with your principal. If approved, you will receive the appropriate points for your professional development conference, course, or activity. 

 Follow the steps Below:

1. Select the External Credit Request tab located at the top of the screen.
2. Select New Request to create your credit request.
3. Select the Independent Recertification Point Submission approval type. 
4. Complete the credit request form, noting that all the fields marked with an asterisk are required fields. Then click Submit for Credit Approval. The application will then go to the Licensure Specialist for approval.

Note: If you want to save your credit request to complete at another time, select Close. When you are ready to finish your credit request, return to the External Credit Request tab and select the reimbursement request to resume editing. 

Once the request is sent, the status will depend on its current approval state. Statuses include:

• Pending: This status indicates the request has been submitted. The request will remain in this status until the Credit Approver (Licensure Specialist) has reviewed and approved for recertification point distribution.
• Approved: The credit request has been successfully approved and supporting documents have been uploaded. Points will show on your transcript.
• Denied: The credit request has been denied. See the approver's notes for more information on the denial.

   5. If approved, the appropriate points will be reflected on your PD Transcript.

Revise a Denied Request

1. Select the Credit Request Event Title or select the action menu and select View.
2. Review the reasons for the request denial under History.
3. Make any necessary edits and changes. Then click Re-Submit For Credit Approval.

The request will once again appear as pending.
