Graduate Credit Information

Important Notice: WVIZ has streamlined procedures for registering educators for graduate credit for online courses.

We offer graduate credit through Ashland University. Grades are Pass/Fail.

Print out the Ashland University graduate credit registration form at www.ideastream.org/education/online , fill it out, and mail or fax it to the address on the form.

Graduate Credit is available at the cost of $150 for a one-credit course, $300 for a two-credit course, and $450 for a three-credit course.

Note: To receive graduate credit, learners must register within one week after the start date of the class. No late graduate credit requests can be accepted. Once a learner has registered for graduate credit, that learner is responsible for completing the requirements of the course. WVIZ/PBS cannot withdraw requests for graduate credit once they are submitted.

Please send any graduate credit questions to Ann Ebersole at ann.ebersole@ideastream.org .
