FAQs

Will my school district accept these credits? It depends on your district. Some require pre-approval of courses before you register. Confirming with your district is your responsibility.

Which SpeechPathology.com courses count toward the graduate-level credit course requirements? The syllabus for each course links to the SpeechPathology.com topic areas that align with your course. You may choose any courses within those areas that fit your goals. Courses you completed before registering cannot be used toward graduate-level credit.

How long do I have to complete each graduate-level credit course? You have six months from your registration approval date. All materials, including the Course Completion Form, must be submitted before this deadline. Late submissions will not be accepted, and missing the deadline means you will not receive credit.

How many credits can I earn? You can earn 1–4 credits per course, which you choose at registration. Your selection is final once registration is complete.

Where do I find my syllabus? You can find it in your registration confirmation email or by clicking the course listing on the Graduate-Level Credit page.

Why don't I see the graduate-level credit courses in my Dashboard? Graduate-level credits are administered through University of the Pacific, separate from your SpeechPathology.com Dashboard. You'll choose SpeechPathology.com courses in your preferred format to complete each syllabus requirement.

How do I get a transcript? Once you finish your coursework, you'll get an email with your grade and instructions for requesting an official transcript from University of the Pacific.
