Turning PD hours into graduate credit (UOP)
For teachersLast reviewed September 25, 2026
Already finished PD courses and now need graduate credit? You can turn completed PD hours into semester credit through University of the Pacific: 1 credit for every 15 PD hours. The conversion costs $70 per credit, and each full-length PD course adds a short writing assignment, the Final Credit Assignment.
The IMPORTANT - Certificate Requirements module in every PD course explains the process:
- Finish the PD courses you want to convert.
- Download the MT-UOP Credit Tracker (Excel) and the Final Credit Assignment (Word) from the UOP conversion page (opens in a new tab). Keep updating the same copies as you finish courses.
- When you have the credits you need, upload both files on the UOP document upload page (opens in a new tab).
- Your instructor grades the assignment, processes your credits, and emails you payment and transcript instructions.
Illinois teachers can also convert PD hours to ISBE clock hours. See Illinois: ISBE clock hours through NEIU.
