College Credit Information

Credit for Educators

ESSDACK partners with MidAmerica Nazarene University to offer college credit for our courses. You make earn .5 credits or 1 credit depending on how many videos completed. Completing 8 of the sections (videos and activities) is worth 0.5 Knowledge Level credits. This is course is called Learn.Change.Lead 1. Completing 16 of the sections is worth 1 Knowledge Level credit. This course is called Learn.Change.Lead 2.

The information in this course is equivalent to the training you would receive if you attended a workshop at ESSDACK. Based on this time commitment, you are able to select the course ending date that best matches your schedule. College credit will be sent to you on the course ending date and will be due to MidAmerica Nazarene seven days later. Please note: there is no flexibility in this process. College credit cannot be earned before your selected course ends, and submissions later than seven days after the end date will not be accepted by the college.

To officially enroll through MNU, please email Jaime at ESSDACK: [email protected]
