Continuing Education Credit
Continuing education credits are recommended for students seeking credit for professional development. One continuing education unit is defined as ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience, under responsible sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction.

Nine (9) continuing education units which equal two (2) continuing education credits will be awarded for successful completion of the National Wildlife Federation's "Creating Places for Wildlife" series.

Experiential Learning Credit
Each university and college has varying policies on experiential learning credits. Check with your institution first.

If you are planning on applying your credit towards a degree or certificate program, we recommend experiential learning credit. The College of the Humanities and Sciences facilitates entry or reentry into the academic community for adult learners by recognizing learning obtained by various non-traditional methods. Credit is granted only for experiential learning and not for experience. Such learning must be at the college-level and documented through evaluation by the College of the Humanities and Sciences with adequate verification and supervision by qualified faculty.

Two (2) experiential learning credits will be awarded for the National Wildlife Federation's "Creating Places for Wildlife" series. Students planning to transfer their experiential learning credit from the College of the Humanities and Sciences to another academic institution are advised to contact the Admissions Office at that institution to check on their transfer policies and acceptability of credits for that institution. You will be responsible for selecting the option that is right for you.

Service Learning Credit
This type of credit is recommended for high school students or people not interested in applying credit towards a degree. Service learning credit is a credit-bearing educational experience that requires students to participate in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs. Students reflect on their service activity through writing, discussion and reading to gain further understanding of course content, broaden their appreciation of the discipline and enhance their sense of civic responsibility.

Two (2) service learning credits will be awarded for the National Wildlife Federation's "Creating Places for Wildlife" series.
