Guidance to Institutions and Accrediting Agencies Regarding a Credit Hour
 

Drake University offers two types of courses through this Area Education Agency.  These courses may be used in the following ways:

  • Renewal of teaching certificates
  • Advancement on local salary schedules
  • Elective credits toward graduate degree programs
     

Are all credits applicable in these three ways?

Answer:  No.  The two types of course designations are EDMA and EDEX.  Both are eligible for renewal of teaching certificates and advancement on local salary schedules.  Graduate credit rules for these course types are as follows:

  • Courses that have a number starting with EDMA (Educational Masters) may be transferred into one or more Drake University School of Education graduate programs (with adviser approval).
  • Courses that have a number starting with EDEX (Educational Extension) may be applicable towards recertification or salary advancement. Refer to your state or local guidelines. These courses are not transferable into degree programs. 

For information pertaining to certification or transfer of credit, it is important you check in advance with your university adviser or local/state guidelines as applicable.
