Academic semester credit courses may be used to satisfy requirements in undergraduate, graduate-level degree, credential, or certificate programs. Most Professional Development Units (PDUs) are calculated at 15 contact hours per PDU. Courses that award PDUs may be useful for moving up salary scales and maintaining certifications or licensure.

New Users:
Your university user account and a temporary password were sent to you in your Admissions email (for students) or Welcome email (for employees) to the personal email account you provided the university. The next step in your onboarding process is to set a new password that only you know utilizing the password reset function. During this initial password reset process you will be required to enroll in the university multifactor authentication (MFA) and self-service password reset application. We highly recommend entering at least two forms of authentication to use with MFA. Click the “First Login” button below and follow the steps to set a new password for your account.
